update-contributor-insights¶

Description¶

Updates the status for contributor insights for a specific table or index. CloudWatch Contributor Insights for DynamoDB graphs display the partition key and (if applicable) sort key of frequently accessed items and frequently throttled items in plaintext. If you require the use of Amazon Web Services Key Management Service (KMS) to encrypt this table’s partition key and sort key data with an Amazon Web Services managed key or customer managed key, you should not enable CloudWatch Contributor Insights for DynamoDB for this table.

Synopsis¶

  update-contributor-insights
--table-name <value>
[--index-name <value>]
--contributor-insights-action <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--table-name (string)

The name of the table.

--index-name (string)

The global secondary index name, if applicable.

--contributor-insights-action (string)

Represents the contributor insights action.

Possible values:

ENABLE

DISABLE

--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.
