   3. In the Configure Targets step, configure an event target and click Create.
      Note You can configure up to five event targets for an event rule.

      • Service Type: Select Function Compute.
      • Service: Select the service that you created in Function Compute.
      • Function: Select the function that you created in Function Compute.
      • Event: Select Template.

        The following part shows two sample variables and a sample template:

        Sample variables:

        {
          "source":"$.source",
          "type":"$.type"
        }

        Sample template:

        The event comes from ${source},event type is ${type}.

        For more information, see Event transformation.

      • Service Version and Alias: Select a service version or a service alias.
        • Default Version: The value is fixed to LATEST.
        • Specified Version: Select a service version. For more information, see Manage versions.
        • Specified Alias: Select a service alias. For more information, see Manage aliases.
      • Invocation Mode: Select Synchronous or Asynchronous. For more information, see Synchronous invocations and Asynchronous calls.

Step 3: Publish an event

1. Log on to the EventBridge console.
2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Event Buses.
3. In the top navigation bar, select a region.
4. On the Event Buses page, find the event bus to which you want to publish an event and click Publish Event in the Operations column.
   Note You can publish events only to custom event buses in the EventBridge console.
5. In the Publish Event to Custom Event Bus panel, select a custom event source from the Custom Event Source drop-down list, enter the event content in the Event Body code editor, and then click OK.
   For more information about the event parameters, see Overview.

Verify the results

To verify the results, you can view logs in the Function Compute console.

1. Log on to the Function Compute console.
2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Services and Functions.
3. In the top navigation bar, select a region.
4. On the Services page, find the service to which you routed the event and click Functions in the Actions column.

FAQ

How can I locate the issue if the event fails to be published?

If an event fails to be published, you can view the response to the publishing request for troubleshooting. You can go to the EventBridge console and view the related information in the Event Delivery section of the Event Trace message. Then, take appropriate measures based on the response returned.

What can I do if an event fails to be published to Function Compute and the "[500]ConnectErrorconnectiontimedout" error is returned in the response?
