create-connector-definition¶

Description¶

Creates a connector definition. You may provide the initial version of the connector definition now or use ‘’CreateConnectorDefinitionVersion’’ at a later time.

Synopsis¶

  create-connector-definition
[--amzn-client-token <value>]
[--initial-version <value>]
[--name <value>]
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--amzn-client-token (string) A client token used to correlate requests and responses.

--initial-version (structure) Information about the initial version of the connector definition.Connectors -> (list)

A list of references to connectors in this version, with their corresponding configuration settings.

(structure)

Information about a connector. Connectors run on the Greengrass core and contain built-in integration with local infrastructure, device protocols, AWS, and other cloud services.

ConnectorArn -> (string)

The ARN of the connector.

Id -> (string)

A descriptive or arbitrary ID for the connector. This value must be unique within the connector definition version. Max length is 128 characters with pattern [a-zA-Z0-9:_-]+.

Parameters -> (map)

The parameters or configuration that the connector uses.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

Connectors=[{ConnectorArn=string,Id=string,Parameters={KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string}},{ConnectorArn=string,Id=string,Parameters={KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string}}]

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Connectors": [
    {
      "ConnectorArn": "string",
      "Id": "string",
      "Parameters": {"string": "string"
        ...}
    }
    ...
  ]
}

--name (string) The name of the connector definition.

--tags (map) Tag(s) to add to the new resource.key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To create a connector definition

The following create-connector-definition example example creates a connector definition and an initial connector definition version. The initial version contains one connector. All connectors in a version define values for their parameters.

aws greengrass create-connector-definition \
    --name MySNSConnector \
    --initial-version "{\"Connectors\": [{\"Id\":\"MySNSConnector\",\"ConnectorArn\":\"arn:aws:greengrass:us-west-2::/connectors/SNS/versions/1\",\"Parameters\": {\"DefaultSNSArn\":\"arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:GGConnectorTopic\"}}]}"

Output:

{
    "Arn": "arn:aws:greengrass:us-west-2:123456789012:/greengrass/definition/connectors/b5c4ebfd-f672-49a3-83cd-31c7216a7bb8",
    "CreationTimestamp": "2019-06-19T19:30:01.300Z",
    "Id": "b5c4ebfd-f672-49a3-83cd-31c7216a7bb8",
    "LastUpdatedTimestamp": "2019-06-19T19:30:01.300Z",
    "LatestVersion": "63c57963-c7c2-4a26-a7e2-7bf478ea2623",
    "LatestVersionArn": "arn:aws:greengrass:us-west-2:123456789012:/greengrass/definition/connectors/b5c4ebfd-f672-49a3-83cd-31c7216a7bb8/versions/63c57963-c7c2-4a26-a7e2-7bf478ea2623",
    "Name": "MySNSConnector"
}

Output¶

Arn -> (string)

The ARN of the definition.

CreationTimestamp -> (string)

The time, in milliseconds since the epoch, when the definition was created.

Id -> (string)

The ID of the definition.

LastUpdatedTimestamp -> (string)

The time, in milliseconds since the epoch, when the definition was last updated.

LatestVersion -> (string)

The ID of the latest version associated with the definition.

LatestVersionArn -> (string)

The ARN of the latest version associated with the definition.

Name -> (string)
