aws_eventbridge_rules resource

Use the aws_eventbridge_rules InSpec audit resource to test properties of multiple Amazon EventBridge event rules.

The AWS::Events::Rule resource creates a rule that matches incoming events and routes them to one or more targets for processing.

For additional information, including details on parameters and properties, see the AWS documentation on Events Rule.

describe aws_eventbridge_rules do
  it { should exist }
end

Use should to test that the entity exists.

describe aws_eventbridge_rules do
  it { should exist }
end

Use should_not to test the entity does not exist.

describe aws_eventbridge_rules do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Use should to check if the rule name is available.
