How to pass and retrieve constant json data to lambda function

Question

I have lambda function defined sth like :

def lambda_handler(event, context):

   #get constant json argument passed from cloudwatch event rule

   ...
         


        

Answer 1

This is based on NodeJS, but it should be the same for Python. The Constant under Input is a simple JSON encoded object, which can then be accessed using the event variable.

Input

{ "config": "uk" }

Lambda

console.log(event.config)
