How to send SSM (Agent) status notification to SNS within AWS

Question

My question is

Is there any other way to monitor the SSM status and send the event notification to SNS instead of configuring the SNS Topic from the executor by providing NotificationConfig ?

I encounter a scenario where within our staging environment, there is an SNS top with a subscription that can always receive the SSM(systems manager) status notification, and it will trigger a lambda function to send notifications to our Slack App. Was done by our previous colleague.

However, within our production environment, I can't set up such a topic that can always receive the SSM status notification.

Within the staging, the SSM agent is triggered through a python lambda function. It sends commands with the PowerShell script without configuring the NotificationConfig argument. I wonder how this event is sent to the SNS topic. I follow AWS' documentation which assigns the SNS Topic to the executor of the command. I know this way. (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/monitoring-sns-rc-send.html)

Many Thanks.

You can capture any AWS event using EventBridge.
