CreatePipeline

Creates a pipeline. A pipeline consumes messages from a channel and allows you to process the messages before storing them in a data store. You must specify both a channel and a datastore activity and, optionally, as many as 23 additional activities in the pipelineActivities array.

URI Request Parameters

The request does not use any URI parameters.

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

pipelineActivities

A list of PipelineActivity objects. Activities perform transformations on your messages, such as removing, renaming or adding message attributes; filtering messages based on attribute values; invoking your Lambda unctions on messages for advanced processing; or performing mathematical transformations to normalize device data.

The list can be 2-25 PipelineActivity objects and must contain both a channel and a datastore activity. Each entry in the list must contain only one activity. For example:

pipelineActivities = [ { "channel": { ... } }, { "lambda": { ... } }, ... ]

Type: Array of PipelineActivity objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 25 items.

Required: Yes

pipelineName

The name of the pipeline.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: (^(?!_{2}))(^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$)

Required: Yes

tags

Metadata which can be used to manage the pipeline.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 50 items.

Required: No
