This README discusses how to run and test the Java code examples for Amazon CloudWatch.
The credential provider used in all code examples is ProfileCredentialsProvider. For more information, see Using credentials.
IMPORTANT
The Java code examples perform AWS operations for the account and AWS Region for which you've specified credentials, and you may incur AWS service charges by running them. See the AWS Pricing page for details about the charges you can expect for a given service and operation.
Some of these examples perform destructive operations on AWS resources, such as deleting a CloudWatch alarm. Be very careful when running an operation that deletes or modifies AWS resources in your account. It's best to create separate test-only resources when experimenting with these examples.
To run these examples, you can setup your development environment to use Apache Maven or Gradle to configure and build AWS SDK for Java projects. For more information, see Get started with the AWS SDK for Java 2.x.
You can test the Java code examples for Amazon CloudWatch by running a test file named CloudWatchTest. This file uses JUnit 5 to run the JUnit tests and is located in the src/test/java folder. For more information, see https://junit.org/junit5/.
You can run the JUnit tests from a Java IDE, such as IntelliJ, or from the command line by using Maven. As each test is run, you can view messages that inform you if the various tests succeed or fail. For example, the following message informs you that Test 3 passed.
Test 3 passed
WARNING: Running these JUnit tests manipulates real Amazon CloudWatch resources and may incur charges on your account.
Before running the Amazon CloudWatch JUnit tests, you must define values in the config.properties file located in the resources folder. This file contains values that are required to run the JUnit tests. For example, you define an alarm name for various tests. If you do not define all values, the JUnit tests fail.
Define these values to successfully run the JUnit tests:
-
logGroup - The name of the log group to use. For example, testgroup.
-
alarmName – The name of the alarm to use. For example, AlarmFeb.
-
instanceId – The ID of the instance to use. You can obtain this value from the AWS Management Console. For example, ami-04300000000.
-
streamName - The name of the stream to use. This value is used to retrieve log events.
-
ruleResource – The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the user who owns the rule. You can obtain this value from the AWS Management Console.
-
filterName - The name of the filter to use.
-
destinationArn - The ARN of the destination. This value is used to create subscription filters.
-
roleArn - The ARN of the user. This value is used to create subscription filters.
-
filterPattern - The filter pattern. For example, Error.
To run the JUnit tests from the command line, you can use the following command.
mvn test
You will see output from the JUnit tests, as shown here.

If you do not define the correct values in the properties file, your JUnit tests are not successful. You will see an error message such as the following. You need to double-check the values that you set in the properties file and run the tests again.
