This is an AWS question, but I figured you might know due to the nature of this project.

I have recently installed AHA for our organization. I was able to test some events by setting the hours back to 4000 for one lambda run. The problem is that only issues showed up for the timeframe before I had enabled Organizational View for Health. I would like to test other event types proactively instead of waiting for them to happen in the wild.

Is there a mechanism in AWS that allows test health events to be created that come in through the API's like a normal event? If not, how do you test the code for this project?

Asked our TAM this question and the solution was to change the EventSearchBack parameter from 1 hour to a value that catches some older AWS Health events.

I did exactly what @mrg2k8 suggested to test, but it would be nice if there was a built-in way to send it a test message so you can see the throughput to your communication endpoint.

@maplion Another option in addition to what @mrg2k8 mentioned around increasing EventSearchBack is to delete the DynamoDB entry for a particular event. That coupled with the event search-back will cause AHA to re-process the event as if it just occurred.
