create-asset-model

Description

Creates an asset model from specified property and hierarchy definitions. You create assets from asset models. With asset models, you can easily create assets of the same type that have standardized definitions. Each asset created from a model inherits the asset model’s property and hierarchy definitions. For more information, see Defining asset models in the IoT SiteWise User Guide .

You can specify up to 200 properties per asset model. For more information, see Quotas in the IoT SiteWise User Guide .

(structure)

Contains an asset model property definition. This property definition is applied to all assets created from the asset model.

name -> (string)

The name of the property definition.

dataType -> (string)

The data type of the property definition.

If you specify STRUCT , you must also specify dataTypeSpec to identify the type of the structure for this property.

dataTypeSpec -> (string)

The data type of the structure for this property. This parameter is required on properties that have the STRUCT data type.

The options for this parameter depend on the type of the composite model in which you define this property. Use AWS/ALARM_STATE for alarm state in alarm composite models.

unit -> (string)

The unit of the property definition, such as Newtons or RPM .

type -> (structure)

The property definition type (see PropertyType ). You can only specify one type in a property definition.

attribute -> (structure)

Specifies an asset attribute property. An attribute generally contains static information, such as the serial number of an IIoT wind turbine.

defaultValue -> (string)

The default value of the asset model property attribute. All assets that you create from the asset model contain this attribute value. You can update an attribute’s value after you create an asset. For more information, see Updating attribute values in the IoT SiteWise User Guide .

measurement -> (structure)

Specifies an asset measurement property. A measurement represents a device’s raw sensor data stream, such as timestamped temperature values or timestamped power values.

processingConfig -> (structure)

The processing configuration for the given measurement property. You can configure measurements to be kept at the edge or forwarded to the Amazon Web Services Cloud. By default, measurements are forwarded to the cloud.

forwardingConfig -> (structure)

The forwarding configuration for the given measurement property.

state -> (string)

The forwarding state for the given property.

transform -> (structure)

Specifies an asset transform property. A transform contains a mathematical expression that maps a property’s data points from one form to another, such as a unit conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

expression -> (string)

The mathematical expression that defines the transformation function. You can specify up to 10 variables per expression. You can specify up to 10 functions per expression.

For more information, see Quotas in the IoT SiteWise User Guide .

propertyId -> (string)

The ID of the property to use as the variable. You can use the property name if it’s from the same asset model.

hierarchyId -> (string)

The ID of the hierarchy to query for the property ID. You can use the hierarchy’s name instead of the hierarchy’s ID.

You use a hierarchy ID instead of a model ID because you can have several hierarchies using the same model and therefore the same propertyId . For example, you might have separately grouped assets that come from the same asset model. For more information, see Asset hierarchies in the IoT SiteWise User Guide .

processingConfig -> (structure)

The processing configuration for the given transform property. You can configure transforms to be kept at the edge or forwarded to the Amazon Web Services Cloud. You can also configure transforms to be computed at the edge or in the cloud.

You use a hierarchy ID instead of a model ID because you can have several hierarchies using the same model and therefore the same propertyId . For example, you might have separately grouped assets that come from the same asset model. For more information, see Asset hierarchies in the IoT SiteWise User Guide .

window -> (structure)

The window (time interval) over which IoT SiteWise computes the metric’s aggregation expression. IoT SiteWise computes one data point per window .

tumbling -> (structure)

The tumbling time interval window.

interval -> (string)

The time interval for the tumbling window. The interval time must be between 1 minute and 1 week.

IoT SiteWise computes the 1w interval the end of Sunday at midnight each week (UTC), the 1d interval at the end of each day at midnight (UTC), the 1h interval at the end of each hour, and so on.

When IoT SiteWise aggregates data points for metric computations, the start of each interval is exclusive and the end of each interval is inclusive. IoT SiteWise places the computed data point at the end of the interval.

offset -> (string)

The offset for the tumbling window. The offset parameter accepts the following:

  • The offset time. For example, if you specify 18h for offset and 1d for interval , IoT SiteWise aggregates data in one of the following ways:

    • If you create the metric before or at 6 PM (UTC), you get the first aggregation result at 6 PM (UTC) on the day when you create the metric.

    • If you create the metric after 6 PM (UTC), you get the first aggregation result at 6 PM (UTC) the next day.

  • The ISO 8601 format. For example, if you specify PT18H for offset and 1d for interval , IoT SiteWise aggregates data in one of the following ways:

    • If you create the metric before or at 6 PM (UTC), you get the first aggregation result at 6 PM (UTC) on the day when you create the metric.

    • If you create the metric after 6 PM (UTC), you get the first aggregation result at 6 PM (UTC) the next day.

  • The 24-hour clock. For example, if you specify 00:03:00 for offset , 5m for interval , and you create the metric at 2 PM (UTC), you get the first aggregation result at 2:03 PM (UTC). You get the second aggregation result at 2:08 PM (UTC).

  • The offset time zone. For example, if you specify 2021-07-23T18:00-08 for offset and 1d for interval , IoT SiteWise aggregates data in one of the following ways:

    • If you create the metric before or at 6 PM (PST), you get the first aggregation result at 6 PM (PST) on the day when you create the metric.

    • If you create the metric after 6 PM (PST), you get the first aggregation result at 6 PM (PST) the next day.

--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.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json

  • text

  • table

  • yaml

  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on

  • off

  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64

  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input 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 an asset model
