Budget Reports unable to generate a notification alert.

[balapraneethreddy98]

Describe the bug When configuring BudgetReport, the notification option provides us to generate alerts and forward that to the corresponding configured method, for example (email), but when configured and executed via the code pipeline, the budgets are created but no sign of the alerts associated with the budgets.

To Reproduce

1. Deploy the Landing zone accelerator using the following guide and IaaC templates Link: https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/implementations/landing-zone-accelerator-on-aws/
2. Navigate to CodeCommit Service and aws-accelator-config repo.
3. Edit global-config.yml file as mentioned below.

Expected behavior Create an alert notification when deployed.

Hi @balapraneethreddy98 ,

If you click on the View all alerts or scroll down - what do you see?

Calls out I would check is around name (the budget deployed doesn't match) and whether you're in the Management account based on the deployment targets

You had the config wrong. Can you please correct it to reflect as below?

      notifications:
        - type: ACTUAL
           thresholdType: PERCENTAGE
           threshold: 90
           comparisonOperator: GREATER_THAN
           subscriptionType: EMAIL
           address: email@email.com

I have tested this and it works (the alerts are created). However, if you first create the budget (without notification alert) and then add the notification alert as an update, the stack update fails! That however is an issue!

Can you confirm this is what is happening in your case (or not) ?
