Description
### Name of the resource
AWS::ApplicationInsights::Application
### Resource Name
_No response_
### Issue Description
There is a validation issue with the Tier attribute inside the ComponentMonitoringSetting property. The documentation lists valid values such as DEFAULT, SQL_SERVER, etc., but the schema includes a regex pattern ^[A-Z][[A-Z]_]*$, which is malformed and blocks all allowed values. The pattern incorrectly contains double square brackets [[A-Z]_]*, making it impossible to deploy resources using CloudFormation.
AWS Documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-applicationinsights-application-componentmonitoringsetting.html
### Expected Behavior
The Tier attribute should accept valid values as specified in the documentation, such as DEFAULT, SQL_SERVER, POSTGRESQL, etc. The regular expression pattern should be corrected to accurately reflect these allowed values.
### Observed Behavior
Using any valid Tier value results in a validation error. For example, setting:
```yaml
Tier: DEFAULT
```
Produces the following error:
```
E3031 'DEFAULT' does not match '^[A-Z][[A-Z]_]*$'
```
### Test Cases
Attempting to deploy a CloudFormation stack with the following configuration:
```yaml
...
Resources:
ApplicationResourceGroup:
Type: AWS::ResourceGroups::Group
Properties:
Name: "app-resource-group"
ResourceQuery:
Type: CLOUDFORMATION_STACK_1_0
ApplicationInsightsMonitoring:
Type: AWS::ApplicationInsights::Application
Properties:
ResourceGroupName: "app-resource-group"
AutoConfigurationEnabled: 'false'
OpsCenterEnabled: 'true'
OpsItemSNSTopicArn: !Ref SupportTopic
CustomComponents:
- ComponentName: "ApiLambda"
ResourceList:
- !GetAtt Function.Arn
ComponentMonitoringSettings:
- ComponentName: "ApiLambda"
Tier: DEFAULT
ComponentConfigurationMode: DEFAULT
DependsOn: ApplicationResourceGroup
```
Results in following validation error:
`E3031 'DEFAULT' does not match '^[A-Z][[A-Z]_]*$'`
### Other Details
This issue prevents the use of the AWS::ApplicationInsights::Application resource with custom ComponentMonitoringSetting configurations, hindering the deployment of applications that rely on this functionality.
Reference: [AWS Documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-applicationinsights-application-componentmonitoringsetting.html)
This issue is critical as it blocks production deployments using AWS::ApplicationInsights::Application with custom ComponentMonitoringSetting configurations.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the schema entry for AWS::ApplicationInsights::Application and its ComponentMonitoringSetting Tier pattern. Use the provided YAML example with Tier: DEFAULT as the reproduction case; done means documented valid Tier values pass validation without the reported E3031 error.
