Is there a way to fire this manually for a running instance instead of stop/starting it?

This would be really useful to manually add to existing EC2 instances with less disruption.

Yeah I wonder if we could use a put/remove tag event in addition to the instance starting/stopping.

Not exactly for put/remove tag but this should be able to pick up any new instances you want to hook up

i set it up using put tags events using the following schema:

          "source": [
            "aws.tag"
          ],
          "detail-type": [
            "Tag Change on Resource"
          ],
          "detail": {
            "changed-tag-keys": [
              "Create_Auto_Alarms"
            ],
            "service": [
              "ec2"
            ],
            "resource-type": [
              "instance"
            ]
          }
        }

@eschu21 Hi, did this solution work for you, could you perhaps ellaborate on the steps you did to configure this?
