This section describes the automation policies found in the AWS Incident Manager Automation PowerPack.

Standard Automation Policies

The AWS Incident Manager Automation PowerPack includes three standard automation policies that you can enable, shown in the following figure. These policies update the AWS incident with the state of the event in SL1. When an event is detected in SL1, an incident is triggered in AWS. When an event is acknowledged in SL1, a timeline event is created in AWS. When an event is resolved in SL1, the incident is resolved in AWS.

The following table shows the automation policy, its default aligned events, and the automation action that runs in response to the events.

Automation Policy Name Aligned Events Automation Action

AWS: Resolve Incident All events AWS: Resolve Incident
AWS: Trigger Incident All events AWS: Trigger Incident
