Select the configured Amazon Web Services connection.

In the

In the

Configuration

section, configure the following parameters:

Enter a stream name to identify the stream that you want to read from Amazon Kinesis.

Select the

Latest

shard iterator type to read the most recent data in the shard.

Select the

String Message

message type.

Select JSON encoded message if you want to parse JSON messages and publish events with key-value pairs. Select custom encoding message type if you want RulePoint to process other message types. For custom encoding message type, you need a marshaler. The JSON encoded or string message type processes a single event at a time. You must create a marshaler and use the custom message encoding type to process multiple events at a time.

Retain the default values for the rest of the fields. For information about the description for each of the fields, the configurations for the Kinesis source and its associated objects, and marshaler details, see the

RulePoint User Guide
