Amazon Kinesis is a managed service that 12 scales elastically for real-time processing of streaming big data. 13 14 For more details, see the [Amazon Kinesis Documentation][1]. 15 16 ## Example Usage 17 18 ``` 19 resource "aws_kinesis_stream" "test_stream" { 20 name = "terraform-kinesis-test" 21 shard_count = 1 22 retention_period = 48 23 shard_level_metrics = [ 24 "IncomingBytes", 25 "OutgoingBytes" 26 ] 27 tags { 28 Environment = "test" 29 } 30 } 31 ``` 32 33 ## Argument Reference 34 35 The following arguments are supported: 36 37 * `name` - (Required) A name to identify the stream. This is unique to the 38 AWS account and region the Stream is created in. 39 * `shard_count` – (Required) The number of shards that the stream will use. 40 Amazon has guidlines for specifying the Stream size that should be referenced 41 when creating a Kinesis stream. See [Amazon Kinesis Streams][2] for more. 42 * `retention_period` - (Optional) Length of time data records are accessible after they are added to the stream. The maximum value of a stream's retention period is 168 hours. Minimum value is 24. Default is 24. 43 * `shard_level_metrics` - (Optional) A list of shard-level CloudWatch metrics which can be enabled for the stream. See [Monitoring with CloudWatch][3] for more. Note that the value ALL should not be used; instead you should provide an explicit list of metrics you wish to enable. 44 * `tags` - (Optional) A mapping of tags to assign to the resource. 45 46 ## Attributes Reference 47 48 * `id` - The unique Stream id 49 * `name` - The unique Stream name (same as `id`) 50 * `shard_count` - The count of Shards for this Stream 51 * `arn` - The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) specifying the Stream 52 53 54 [1]: https://aws.amazon.com/documentation/kinesis/ 55 [2]: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesis/latest/dev/amazon-kinesis-streams.html 56 [3]: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/monitoring-with-cloudwatch.html
