"Error sending event to AWS EventBridge: SerializationError: failed to unmarshal response error" with MongoDB trigger connected to AWS EventBridge

MongoDB Atlas App Services & Realm

Hello

I have created a MongoDB trigger on a collection with Create, Update, Replace and Delete enabled. Document Preimage is also enabled.
I have connected the trigger to AWS EventBridge. From the EventBridge I’m capturing the events and triggering a Lambda Function with an SQS between the Event bus and the Lambda.

I was testing the the trigger but noticed that the Lambda is not triggering and went on to see the Mongo DB trigger logs from MongoDB Atlas. It showed errors with the following message

Error:
Error sending event to AWS EventBridge: SerializationError: failed to unmarshal response error
	status code: 413, request id: 
caused by: UnmarshalError: error message missing

I’m not sure what’s causing this. Is it something wrong on MongoDB end or AWS end. I couldn’t find anything related to this by googling.

Hello, I have exactly the same problem, did you manage to correct it?

we thought it was because our mongo was on a free cluster. upgraded and it disappeared
but don’t really no why it happened

Hi Fatin,

Please see the KB below.

https://support.mongodb.com/article/000021040

Symptoms

Due to this error, the trigger may fail to run for the specific change event, and in some cases, it could result in the trigger being suspended, preventing future instances from running on change events.

Cause

The 413 error indicates that the processed change event by the trigger was larger than the allowed limit in AWS. AWS EventBridge triggers have a maximum event size that the AWS ecosystem can accept. The total size of the event for an AWS put entry is set to 256 KB. If the event exceeds this size, the mentioned error will be thrown.

Solution

To reduce the size of the event sent to AWS, specify a Project Expression in the trigger configuration. This limits the number of fields from the document to only the necessary ones.

Regards

Hey @Mansoor_Omar Manny, I hope all is well.

FYI that KB isn’t publicly accessible. I keep getting sent to the MongoDB employee sign in to see it. It asks for my Okta….

Hi Schach,

I believe that requires a support subscription, however I have already updated my first comment to include the details of the kb to answer this particular question.
