Request Syntax

response = client.create_collector(
    type='AWS_COLLECTOR',
    kubernetesClusterRole={
        'roleArn': 'string',
        'externalId': 'string'
    },
    clientToken='string'
)
Parameters:

  • type (string) – Source to collect. Defaults to AWS_COLLECTOR when omitted.

  • kubernetesClusterRole (dict) –

    IAM role configuration used to collect Kubernetes cluster metadata. The authenticated caller must be allowed to pass its exact roleArn to Continuum.

    • roleArn (string) – [REQUIRED]

      IAM role the authenticated caller passes to Continuum.

    • externalId (string) –

      Optional external ID Continuum supplies when assuming roleArn. This must match the role trust policy when configured and does not replace the caller’s iam:PassRole permission.

  • clientToken (string) –

    Caller-provided token that makes retried create requests return the original Collector rather than creating a duplicate.

    This field is autopopulated if not provided.

Return type:
