Amazon Kinesis
Follow these steps to use Amazon Kinesis as your source.
Step 1 - Connect to Amazon Kinesis
Create a new connection
Click Create a new connection, if it is not already selected. Then select the AWS region where your Kinesis is hosted from the pre-populated list.
For the Authentication Method, select either the Role-based or the AccessKey/SecretKey option:
Role-based
Upsolver recommends that you use Role-based access.
To define the correct permissions for the role, follow the Kinesis access configuration guide to create an IAM policy
If your Kinesis runs on a different AWS account than the one running Upsolver, you need to create trust between the role and the account running Upsolver. To create a trusted AWS ROLE and find your External Id, follow the Role-Based AWS Credentials guide.
AccessKey/SecretKey
To create your Access key id and Secret access key, follow the AWS Account and Access Keys guide.
When you have entered your authentication information, click Test Connection.
Use an existing connection
By default, if you have already created a connection, Upsolver selects Use an existing connection, and your Kinesis connection is populated in the list.
For organizations with multiple connections, select the source connection you want to use.
Step 2 - Select a stream to ingest
When the connection is established, a list of streams will appear in the select list, Select a stream to ingest.
Then choose the file type you want to ingest in the Select the source events content type list, or leave it on the default value of Automatic.
Step 3 - Check that events are read successfully
As soon as you select a stream, Upsolver will attempt to load a sample of the events.
If Upsolver did not load any sample events, try the following:
Verify that Kinesis has events.
Select a content type that matches the type of your stream.
