### How can I tell if my events are being published in staging/production?

Take a look at our [publishing metrics](https://grafana.xarth.tv/d/NdIRdTmZz/eventbus-overview?orgId=1). Toggle the environment dropdown on the top for staging events!

### My publisher fails to send a Noop on startup due to an assume role error, what do I do?

Double check that you have indeed created the [EventBus CloudFormation Stack](https://git.xarth.tv/pages/eventbus/docs/getting_started/#part-1-run-the-cloudformation-template) and have properly [attached the policy](https://git.xarth.tv/pages/eventbus/docs/getting_started/#attach-event-bus-policy) to your service's role..

### My publish failed with an unauthorized to perform SNS:Publish error. What gives?

Did you ask someone in #event-bus to give you [publish permissions](https://git.xarth.tv/pages/eventbus/docs/publishers/#receive-permission-to-publish) to the event?
