Lambda EventSourceMapping Failure Destination

Level: Error

Initial version: 0.1.6

cfn-lint: ES1001

tflint: aws_lambda_event_source_mapping_failure_destination

An AWS Lambda event source mapping reads from streams and poll-based event sources to invoke your functions. You can configure the event source mapping to send invocation records to another service such as Amazon SNS or Amazon SQS when it discards an event batch.
