Description

Updates the configuration of a canary that has already been created. For multibrowser canaries, you can add or remove browsers by updating the browserConfig list in the update call. For example:
  • To add Firefox to a canary that currently uses Chrome, specify browserConfigs as [CHROME, FIREFOX]
  • To remove Firefox and keep only Chrome, specify browserConfigs as [CHROME]
You can't use this operation to update the tags of an existing canary. To change the tags of an existing canary, use TagResource. When you use the dryRunId field when updating a canary, the only other field you can provide is the Schedule. Adding any other field will thrown an exception.

Parameters

-ArtifactS3Location <String>
The location in Amazon S3 where Synthetics stores artifacts from the test runs of this canary. Artifacts include the log file, screenshots, and HAR files. The name of the Amazon S3 bucket can't include a period (.).

Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-BrowserConfig <BrowserConfig[]>
A structure that specifies the browser type to use for a canary run. CloudWatch Synthetics supports running canaries on both CHROME and FIREFOX browsers.If not specified, browserConfigs defaults to Chrome. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.

You can't specify any Lambda reserved environment variables as the keys for your environment variables. For more information about reserved keys, see Runtime environment variables.Environment variable keys and values are encrypted at rest using Amazon Web Services owned KMS keys. However, the environment variables are not encrypted on the client side. Do not store sensitive information in them. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.

It is recommended to use visualReferences for consistency and future compatibility.For multibrowser visual monitoring, you can update the baseline for all configured browsers in a single update call by specifying a list of VisualReference objects, one per browser. Each VisualReference object maps to a specific browser configuration, allowing you to manage visual baselines for multiple browsers simultaneously.For single configuration canaries using Chrome browser (default browser), use visualReferences for syn-nodejs-puppeteer-11.0 and above, and syn-nodejs-playwright-3.0 and above canaries. The browserType in the visualReference object is not mandatory. Starting with version 4 of the SDK this property will default to null. If no data for this property is returned from the service the property will also be null. This was changed to improve performance and allow the SDK and caller to distinguish between a property not set or a property being empty to clear out a value. To retain the previous SDK behavior set the AWSConfigs.InitializeCollections static property to true.
