UpdateTelemetryPipeline - Amazon CloudWatch

UpdateTelemetryPipeline

Updates the configuration of an existing telemetry pipeline.

Note

The following attributes cannot be updated after pipeline creation:

  • Pipeline name - The pipeline name is immutable

  • Pipeline ARN - The ARN is automatically generated and cannot be changed

  • Source type - Once a pipeline is created with a specific source type (such as S3, CloudWatch Logs, GitHub, or third-party sources), it cannot be changed to a different source type

Processors can be added, removed, or modified. However, some processors are not supported for third-party pipelines and cannot be added through updates.
