title: AWS CloudWatch Schedule + Lambda: trigger not working
body: <p>I have set up a simple Lambda function to print out a line of text on execution with a java jar file. I can run the a test with the &quot;Test&quot; button fine. I also have set up a 5 min CloudWatch Schedule trigger, schedule expression: rate(5 minutes). The trigger is enabled. I can view the trigger and confirm in &quot;Edit&quot;  the trigger is assigned to my function and also that it will use a static JSON as input. For some reason my function doesn't seem to be getting triggered with my 5-min trigger - I'm expecting to see some logs for the trigger, but there is nothing at all. I'm using this logger: com.amazonaws.services.lambda.runtime.LambdaLogger. I wonder if there is another setting I'm not aware of that needs to be set to get the trigger working. Thank you for your time.</p>
  <h1>1 Edit: resolution</h1>
  <p>The timer is for lambda to http into ElasticSearch service. Our ElasticSearch service became none-responsive and we had to recreate it. After we recreated the ElasticSearch service, the timer started working... Although the timer works, in console, I started seeing dupes of my timer. After I turned teh timer off, it created yet another duplicate of it self. Seems like a buggy UI. I'm using Chrome.</p>
