Exporting your data to a Kinesis stream
-
From your project's main page, near the bottom of the page, on the right, choose Start live data export.
-
Under Select Amazon Kinesis data stream, do one of the following:
-
Enter the name of an existing stream in the search box. Then skip to Step 5.
-
Choose Create a new data stream.
-
-
On the Create data stream page, under Data stream configuration, enter your data stream name.
-
Under Data stream capacity, choose your capacity mode:
-
If your data stream’s throughput requirements are unpredictable and variable, choose On-demand.
-
If you can reliably estimate the throughput requirements of your data stream, choose Provisioned. Then, under provisioned shards, enter the number of shards you want to create, or choose the Shard estimator.
-
-
Choose Create data stream.
Editing live data export settings
To edit your live data export settings:
-
Open the Amazon Monitron console.
-
Choose Projects from the navigation pane.
-
If you have multiple projects, choose the project for which you want to edit the export settings.
-
From the main page for your project, under Live data export, from the Actions dropdown menu, choose Edit live data export settings.
Stopping a live data export
-
Open the Amazon Monitron console.
-
Choose Projects from the navigation pane.
-
If you have multiple projects, choose the project for which you want to edit the export settings.
-
From the main page for your project, under Live data export, from the Actions dropdown menu, choose Stop live data export.
-
In the pop-up window, choose Stop.
Viewing data export errors
To view the error messages in the CloudWatch Logs interface:
-
On the Amazon Monitron console, from the main page for your project, under Live data export, choose CloudWatch log group.
Using server-side encryption for the Kinesis stream
You can enable server-side encryption for your Kinesis stream before setting up Kinesis data export. However, if server-side encryption is enabled after Kinesis data export is set up, Amazon Monitron will not be able to publish to the stream. That's because Amazon Monitron will not have permission to call kms:GenerateDataKey so that it can encrypt data sent to Kinesis.
To work around this, follow the instructions under Editing live data export settings, but without changing the configuration. This will associate the encryption you have set up with your export configuration.
