Use UpdateIndexingConfiguration with an AWS SDK or CLI

Focus mode
Use UpdateIndexingConfiguration with an AWS SDK or CLI - AWS IoT Core

The following code examples show how to use UpdateIndexingConfiguration.

C++
SDK for C++
Note

There's more on GitHub. Find the complete example and learn how to set up and run in the AWS Code Examples Repository.

//! Update the indexing configuration. /*! \param thingIndexingConfiguration: A ThingIndexingConfiguration object which is ignored if not set. \param thingGroupIndexingConfiguration: A ThingGroupIndexingConfiguration object which is ignored if not set. \param clientConfiguration: AWS client configuration. \return bool: Function succeeded. */ bool AwsDoc::IoT::updateIndexingConfiguration( const Aws::IoT::Model::ThingIndexingConfiguration &thingIndexingConfiguration, const Aws::IoT::Model::ThingGroupIndexingConfiguration &thingGroupIndexingConfiguration, const Aws::Client::ClientConfiguration &clientConfiguration) { Aws::IoT::IoTClient iotClient(clientConfiguration); Aws::IoT::Model::UpdateIndexingConfigurationRequest request; if (thingIndexingConfiguration.ThingIndexingModeHasBeenSet()) { request.SetThingIndexingConfiguration(thingIndexingConfiguration); } if (thingGroupIndexingConfiguration.ThingGroupIndexingModeHasBeenSet()) { request.SetThingGroupIndexingConfiguration(thingGroupIndexingConfiguration); } Aws::IoT::Model::UpdateIndexingConfigurationOutcome outcome = iotClient.UpdateIndexingConfiguration( request); if (outcome.IsSuccess()) { std::cout << "UpdateIndexingConfiguration succeeded." << std::endl; } else { std::cerr << "UpdateIndexingConfiguration failed." << outcome.GetError().GetMessage() << std::endl; } return outcome.IsSuccess(); }
CLI
AWS CLI

To enable thing indexing

The following update-indexing-configuration example enables thing indexing to support searching registry data, shadow data, and thing connectivity status using the AWS_Things index.

aws iot update-indexing-configuration --thing-indexing-configuration thingIndexingMode=REGISTRY_AND_SHADOW,thingConnectivityIndexingMode=STATUS

This command produces no output.

For more information, see Managing Thing Indexing in the AWS IoT Developers Guide.
