--input-name (string)
The name you want to give to the input.
--input-description (string)
A brief description of the input.
--input-definition (structure)
The definition of the input.
Shorthand Syntax:
attributes=[{jsonPath=string},{jsonPath=string}]
JSON Syntax:
{
"attributes": [
{
"jsonPath": "string"
}
...
]
}
--tags (list)
Metadata that can be used to manage the input.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.
To create an input
The following create-input example creates an input.
aws iotevents create-input \
--cli-input-json file://pressureInput.json
Contents of pressureInput.json:
{
"inputName": "PressureInput",
"inputDescription": "Pressure readings from a motor",
"inputDefinition": {
"attributes": [
{ "jsonPath": "sensorData.pressure" },
{ "jsonPath": "motorid" }
]
}
}
Output:
{
"inputConfiguration": {
"status": "ACTIVE",
"inputArn": "arn:aws:iotevents:us-west-2:123456789012:input/PressureInput",
"lastUpdateTime": 1560795312.542,
"creationTime": 1560795312.542,
"inputName": "PressureInput",
"inputDescription": "Pressure readings from a motor"
}
}
