Options¶

--name (string)

The name of the channel.

--source (string)

The name of the partner or external event source. You cannot change this name after you create the channel. A maximum of one channel is allowed per source.

--destinations (list)

One or more event data stores to which events arriving through a channel will be logged.

(structure)

Contains information about the destination receiving events.

Type -> (string)

The type of destination for events arriving from a channel. For channels used for a CloudTrail Lake integration, the value is EVENT_DATA_STORE . For service-linked channels, the value is AWS_SERVICE .

Location -> (string)

For channels used for a CloudTrail Lake integration, the location is the ARN of an event data store that receives events from a channel. For service-linked channels, the location is the name of the Amazon Web Services service.

Shorthand Syntax:

Type=string,Location=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Type": "EVENT_DATA_STORE"|"AWS_SERVICE",
    "Location": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--tags (list)

A list of tags.

(structure)

A custom key-value pair associated with a resource such as a CloudTrail trail, event data store, or channel.

Key -> (string)

The key in a key-value pair. The key must be must be no longer than 128 Unicode characters. The key must be unique for the resource to which it applies.

Value -> (string)

The value in a key-value pair of a tag. The value must be no longer than 256 Unicode characters.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"

--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.
