put-destination

Description

Creates or updates a destination. This operation is used only to create destinations for cross-account subscriptions.

A destination encapsulates a physical resource (such as an Amazon Kinesis stream) and enables you to subscribe to a real-time stream of log events for a different account, ingested using PutLogEvents .

Through an access policy, a destination controls what is written to it. By default, PutDestination does not set any access policy with the destination, which means a cross-account user cannot call PutSubscriptionFilter against this destination. To enable this, the destination owner must call PutDestinationPolicy after PutDestination .

To perform a PutDestination operation, you must also have the iam:PassRole permission.

Synopsis

  put-destination
--destination-name <value>
--target-arn <value>
--role-arn <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--destination-name (string)

A name for the destination.

--target-arn (string)

The ARN of an Amazon Kinesis stream to which to deliver matching log events.

--role-arn (string)

The ARN of an IAM role that grants CloudWatch Logs permissions to call the Amazon Kinesis PutRecord operation on the destination stream.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those 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. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--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. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
