Name of the source. The source name must be unique.

Optional. The description of the service.

Type of source. Select

Amazon CloudWatch Source

.

The connection type that you want to associate the source with. Select

Amazon Web Services Connection

. You must create the connection before you create an Amazon CloudWatch source.

The topic to which the Amazon CloudWatch source posts events. Select the topic name that corresponds to the source.

The URL that identifies a host and a port that constitute as the entry point for a web service. Every web service request contains an end point. Some AWS products provide regional end points to make your requests. Use the regional end points to reduce data latency in your application and facilitate faster connectivity.

A string defined for a specific metric that you want to read from CloudWatch. The namespace is an abstract container for the items contained in that metric, which helps isolate one metric from another. For example, provide a namespace string beginning with AWS/<service name> for the corresponding metric in Amazon CloudWatch that you want to retrieve. The service name is the name of the Amazon application from where CloudWatch collects the metric.

A name to identify the metric, which represents a time-ordered set of data points that you want the source to read. The metric name, combined with the namespace and optional dimensions, is the primary identifier of a specific metric in CloudWatch.

The length of time associated for CloudWatch to aggregate all the data points for the period that you specify, beginning from the specified start time. Specify the granularity for the period in seconds and specify the period values as multiples of the number. The minimum granularity that you can specify is 60 seconds, and the maximum granularity is 1,209,600 seconds. The default value is 60.

A name-value pair to uniquely identify a metric.

The time for which CloudWatch returns the first data point for the metric. CloudWatch creates time stamps for all the data points it receives for a metric. Based on the start time you specify, CloudWatch provides the data points from the start time with the time stamp specified.

Optional. The name to assign to the marker. This is the batch name that the sever associates with all published events. Avoid using multiple batch names because the system treats them as a single string. Specify one batch name for each source. When you configure a marker ID in the source, the marker ID demarcates a set of events between the marker_begin and the marker_end events.

Optional. The unique name-value pairs of static metadata or additional information about this service that becomes part of the event properties. Do not use a null value for any property. Do not include a space in the name of the metadata property. The name-value pairs appear in every event published by this source service.

Class name of the marshaller. The marshaller class is responsible for converting or enriching the source event properties. It must include the full class name including the classpath. You must add the jar file that contains this class into the RulePoint library.

Properties of the marshaller. You must pass the properties as comma-separated key-value pairs to the marshaller class. For example, property1=value1,property2=value2.
