/**
*
* The Health API provides access to the Health information that appears in the Health Dashboard. You can use the API operations to get * information about events that might affect your Amazon Web Services and resources. *
*
* You must have a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan from Amazon Web Services Support to use the Health API. If you call the
* Health API from an Amazon Web Services account that doesn't have a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise
* Support plan, you receive a SubscriptionRequiredException
error.
*
* For API access, you need an access key ID and a secret access key. Use temporary credentials instead of long-term * access keys when possible. Temporary credentials include an access key ID, a secret access key, and a security token * that indicates when the credentials expire. For more information, see Best practices for managing * Amazon Web Services access keys in the Amazon Web Services General Reference. *
** You can use the Health endpoint health.us-east-1.amazonaws.com (HTTPS) to call the Health API operations. Health * supports a multi-Region application architecture and has two regional endpoints in an active-passive configuration. * You can use the high availability endpoint example to determine which Amazon Web Services Region is active, so that * you can get the latest information from the API. For more information, see Accessing the Health API in the Health * User Guide. *
** For authentication of requests, Health uses the Signature Version 4 Signing * Process. *
** If your Amazon Web Services account is part of Organizations, you can use the Health organizational view feature. * This feature provides a centralized view of Health events across all accounts in your organization. You can aggregate * Health events in real time to identify accounts in your organization that are affected by an operational event or get * notified of security vulnerabilities. Use the organizational view API operations to enable this feature and return * event information. For more information, see Aggregating Health events in the * Health User Guide. *
** When you use the Health API operations to return Health events, see the following recommendations: *
** Use the eventScopeCode parameter to specify whether to return Health events that are public or account-specific. *
*
* Use pagination to view all events from the response. For example, if you call the
* DescribeEventsForOrganization
operation to get all events in your organization, you might receive
* several page results. Specify the nextToken
in the next request to return more results.
