Resources created from the template - AWS IoT SiteWise

Resources created from the template

When you create a stack from the template, AWS CloudFormation creates the following resources. Most resources' names include a prefix that you can customize when you create the stack.

Resource name parameters
  • BucketName – The name of the S3 bucket created from this template that receives asset data.

  • GlobalResourcePrefix – A prefix for names of global resources created from this template. Defaults to sitewise-export-to-s3.

  • LocalResourcePrefix – A prefix for names of resources created from this template in the current Region. Defaults to sitewise_export_to_s3.

Resources created by the AWS CloudFormation template
Resource Description Name
S3 bucket for processed data This bucket contains two folders. One folder receives the flattened, formatted data from the Firehose delivery stream, and the other folder receives asset metadata. ${BucketName}
AWS Glue database This database contains the AWS Glue table that this stack creates. ${LocalResourcePrefix}_firehose_glue_database
AWS Glue table The Firehose delivery stream uses this table to format data to Parquet format. ${LocalResourcePrefix}_firehose_glue_table
AWS Lambda function that transforms data This function flattens the array of values in property value notification messages sent from AWS IoT SiteWise. ${LocalResourcePrefix}_lambda_transform_function
IAM role for the transform Lambda function This role allows Lambda to store runtime logs for the transform function. ${GlobalResourcePrefix}-lambda-transform-role
IAM policy for the transform Lambda function role This policy allows Lambda to store execution logs for the transform function. ${GlobalResourcePrefix}-lambda-transform-policy
CloudWatch Logs log group for the transform function This log group contains logs for the transform function. /aws/lambda/${LocalResourcePrefix}_lambda_transform_function
Lambda function that collects asset metadata This function retrieves details about assets in AWS IoT SiteWise and stores the details in an Amazon S3 bucket that this stack creates. ${LocalResourcePrefix}_lambda_metadata_function
Lambda layer for the metadata function This layer provides an AWS SDK that contains AWS IoT SiteWise operations that the metadata function uses. ${LocalResourcePrefix}_lambda_metadata_layer
IAM role for the metadata Lambda function This role allows Lambda to retrieve details about assets in AWS IoT SiteWise. ${GlobalResourcePrefix}-lambda-metadata-role
IAM policy for the metadata Lambda function role This policy allows Lambda to retrieve details about assets in AWS IoT SiteWise. ${GlobalResourcePrefix}-lambda-metadata-policy
EventBridge scheduled event for the metadata Lambda function This scheduled event runs the metadata Lambda every 6 hours to update the asset metadata bucket. ${LocalResourcePrefix}-metadata-event
CloudWatch Logs log group for the metadata function This log group contains logs for the metadata function. /aws/lambda/${LocalResourcePrefix}_lambda_metadata_function
AWS IoT rule This rule queries property value notification messages and sends asset data to an Amazon Data Firehose delivery stream. ${LocalResourcePrefix}_iot_topic_rule
IAM role for the AWS IoT rule This role allows AWS IoT to send data to the Firehose delivery stream. ${GlobalResourcePrefix}-core-firehose-role
IAM policy for the AWS IoT rule role This policy allows AWS IoT to send data to the Firehose delivery stream. ${GlobalResourcePrefix}-core-firehose-policy
Firehose delivery stream This delivery stream consumes data from the AWS IoT rule, flattens the data with a Lambda function, and delivers the data to Amazon S3. ${LocalResourcePrefix}_firehose_delivery_stream
IAM role for the delivery stream This role allows Firehose to perform operations on the S3 bucket, AWS Glue table, Lambda functions, and CloudWatch Logs log group. ${GlobalResourcePrefix}-firehose-delivery-role
CloudWatch Logs log group for the delivery stream This log group contains a log stream, S3 Delivery, that receives logs about the Firehose delivery stream. /aws/kinesisfirehose/${LocalResourcePrefix}_firehose_delivery_stream
