CodeBuild: how to pass variables / JSON data to an CloudWatch Event Rule?

Codebuild is used to build a project from a repository and deploy it to s3. I want to pass data/information that is processed in codebuild to cloudwatch event so that I can send the notification with that information for pass as well as failed build. Is there a way to send data ($variables) processed in codebuild in cloudwatch event rule or any other way?

I have the rule, topic, and email working.... but I see no way to pass any extra data than what is supplied by CodeBuild.

For example: I have some environment variables in code build and I need to send these as a part of my notification which will help me determine what value caused the failure of build.

I'll start with saying that @Marcin answer is totally correct but it doesn't answer the "as well as failed build" part.

So for the first part where you want to send the responses from the processed data you either need to:

With regard to the second part of the question where you want to catch the CodeBuild execution status you can rely on the built-in notifications events from that are generated from CodeBuild itself:

{
  "source": [ 
    "aws.codebuild"
  ], 
  "detail-type": [
    "CodeBuild Build State Change"
  ],
  "detail": {
    "build-status": [
      "IN_PROGRESS",
      "SUCCEEDED", 
      "FAILED",
      "STOPPED" 
    ],
    "project-name": [
      "my-demo-project-1",
      "my-demo-project-2"
    ]
  }  
}

You can intercept the events for the whole build and for each phase separately if needed and act upon them (whether you are going to send to SNS, or trigger a Lambda or something else it's up to you).

You have to do this form with your CB as part of your buildspec.yml. If you are using SNS (I guess), then you can use aws sns publish AWS CLI as part of your CB procedure. This would also require you to add permissions to CB role for sns:publish action.
