Amazon Web Services Connection

Amazon Web Services Connection

The Amazon Kinesis source in RulePoint reads messages from an Amazon Kinesis stream through an Amazon Web Services (AWS) connection. The Amazon Kinesis responder writes messages to an Amazon Kinesis stream through the AWS connection. Similarly, the Amazon CloudWatch source reads metrics from Amazon Cloud, while the Amazon CloudWatch responder writes metrics back to CloudWatch through the AWS connection.
When you create an Amazon Web Services connection, you enter the name and the configuration details for the connection through the RulePoint user interface.
The following table describes the connection and configuration properties that you need to enter:
Property
Description
Name
Name of the connection. The connection name must be unique.
Description
Optional. Description of the connection.
Type
Type of connection. Select
Amazon Web Services Connection
.
You must have an AWS account and must have created users and groups under your AWS account.
Access Key ID
An alphanumeric text string that uniquely identifies the user who owns an Amazon Web Services account. Use the access key ID along with the secret access key to authenticate with the AWS service.
Secret Access Key
A key that you use in conjunction with the access key ID to cryptographically sign programmatic AWS requests. Signing a request identifies the sender and prevents third parties from altering the request.
