Glue trigger cannot create EVENT trigger

Question

I want to create glue trigger EVENT type. I do not have such option in console, when I try same with aws cli I am getting an error.

With command:

aws glue create-trigger --workflow-name test --type EVENT --name test  --actions JobName=test

An error occurred (EntityNotFoundException) when calling the CreateTrigger operation: Entity not found

test glue job exists, same error I get when I try other trigger type.

With command:

aws glue create-trigger --type EVENT --name test  --actions JobName=test

An error occurred (InvalidInputException) when calling the CreateTrigger operation: Workflow name cannot be null or empty

But when I change trigger type it creates trigger.

Anyone has any idea what might be an issue?

For Event triggers, they would need to be associated with a Glue workflow. First create a workflow using

aws glue create-workflow --name test-workflow

The second command is missing the --workflow-name. the trigger needs to be added to a workflow and executed after the workflow is created. aws glue create-trigger --name test-trigger --type EVENT --workflow-name test-workflow --actions JobName=test
