Detection: EventBridge Rule Disabled
Overview
Detect when an Amazon EventBridge rule was disabled in a region. Disabling an EventBridge rule can disrupt event delivery, delay automated actions, or prevent critical workflows from executing. This increases the risk of operational inefficiencies and may allow unauthorized activities to go undetected. Monitoring for a disabled rule ensures workflows remain operational and protected.

Usage
Run the detection in your terminal:
powerpipe detection run aws_cloudtrail_log_detections.detection.eventbridge_rule_disabledSnapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:
powerpipe loginpowerpipe detection run aws_cloudtrail_log_detections.detection.eventbridge_rule_disabled --shareSQL
This detection uses a named query:
select tp_timestamp as timestamp,string_split(event_source, '.')[1] || ':' || event_name as operation,request_parameters ->> 'name' as resource,user_identity.arn as actor,tp_source_ip as source_ip,tp_index as account_id,aws_region as region,tp_id as source_id,*
from aws_cloudtrail_logwhere event_source = 'events.amazonaws.com' and event_name = 'DisableRule' and error_code is null
order by event_time desc;
