Credentials

By default Redpanda Connect will use a shared credentials file when connecting to AWS services. It’s also possible to set them explicitly at the component level, allowing you to transfer data across accounts. You can find out more in Amazon Web Services.

Performance

This output benefits from sending multiple messages in flight in parallel for improved performance. You can tune the max number of in flight messages (or message batches) with the field max_in_flight.

This output benefits from sending messages as a batch for improved performance. Batches can be formed at both the input and output level. You can find out more in this doc.

Fields

stream

The stream to publish messages to.

Type: string

max_in_flight

The maximum number of messages to have in flight at a given time. Increase this to improve throughput.

Type: int

Default: 64

batching

Allows you to configure a batching policy.

Type: object

# Examples

batching:
  byte_size: 5000
  count: 0
  period: 1s

batching:
  count: 10
  period: 1s

batching:
  check: this.contains("END BATCH")
  count: 0
  period: 1m

batching.count

A number of messages at which the batch should be flushed. If 0 disables count based batching.

Type: int

Default: 0

batching.byte_size

An amount of bytes at which the batch should be flushed. If 0 disables size based batching.

Type: int

Default: 0

batching.period

A period in which an incomplete batch should be flushed regardless of its size.

Type: string

Default: ""

# Examples

period: 1s

period: 1m

period: 500ms

batching.check

A Bloblang query that should return a boolean value indicating whether a message should end a batch.

Type: string

Default: ""

# Examples

check: this.type == "end_of_transaction"

batching.processors

A list of processors to apply to a batch as it is flushed. This allows you to aggregate and archive the batch however you see fit. Please note that all resulting messages are flushed as a single batch, therefore splitting the batch into smaller batches using these processors is a no-op.

Type: array

# Examples

processors:
  - archive:
      format: concatenate

processors:
  - archive:
      format: lines

processors:
  - archive:
      format: json_array

region

The AWS region to target.

Type: string

Default: ""

endpoint

Allows you to specify a custom endpoint for the AWS API.

Type: string

Default: ""

credentials

Optional manual configuration of AWS credentials to use. More information can be found in Amazon Web Services.

Type: object

credentials.profile

A profile from ~/.aws/credentials to use.

Type: string

Default: ""

credentials.id

The ID of credentials to use.

Type: string

Default: ""

credentials.secret

The secret for the credentials being used.

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Manage Secrets before adding it to your configuration.

Type: string

Default: ""

credentials.token

The token for the credentials being used, required when using short term credentials.

Type: string

Default: ""

credentials.from_ec2_role

Use the credentials of a host EC2 machine configured to assume an IAM role associated with the instance.

Type: bool

Default: false

credentials.role

A role ARN to assume.

Type: string

Default: ""

credentials.role_external_id

An external ID to provide when assuming a role.

Type: string

Default: ""

max_retries

The maximum number of retries before giving up on the request. If set to zero there is no discrete limit.

Type: int

Default: 0

backoff

Control time intervals between retry attempts.

Type: object

backoff.initial_interval

The initial period to wait between retry attempts. The retry interval increases for each failed attempt, up to the backoff.max_interval value.

Type: string

Default: "1s"

backoff.max_interval

The maximum period to wait between retry attempts.

Type: string

Default: "5s"

backoff.max_elapsed_time

The maximum period to wait before retry attempts are abandoned. If zero then no limit is used.

Type: string

Default: "30s"
