Credentials​

By default Expanso Edge will use a shared credentials file when connecting to AWS services. It's also possible to set them explicitly at the component level, allowing you to transfer data across accounts. You can find out more in this document.

Performance​

This output benefits from sending multiple messages in flight in parallel for improved performance. You can tune the max number of in flight messages (or message batches) with the field max_in_flight.

This output benefits from sending messages as a batch for improved performance. Batches can be formed at both the input and output level. You can find out more in this doc.

Fields​

stream​

The stream to publish messages to.

Type: string

max_in_flight​

The maximum number of messages to have in flight at a given time. Increase this to improve throughput.

Type: int
Default: 64

batching​

Allows you to configure a batching policy.

Type: object

batching.count​

A number of messages at which the batch should be flushed. If 0 disables count based batching.

Type: int
Default: 0

batching.byte_size​

An amount of bytes at which the batch should be flushed. If 0 disables size based batching.

Type: int
Default: 0

batching.period​

A period in which an incomplete batch should be flushed regardless of its size.

Type: string
Default: ""

batching.check​

A Bloblang query that should return a boolean value indicating whether a message should end a batch.

Type: string
Default: ""

batching.processors​

A list of processors to apply to a batch as it is flushed. This allows you to aggregate and archive the batch however you see fit. Please note that all resulting messages are flushed as a single batch, therefore splitting the batch into smaller batches using these processors is a no-op.

Type: array of processor

region​

The AWS region to target.

Type: string

endpoint​

Allows you to specify a custom endpoint for the AWS API.

Type: string

tcp​

TCP socket configuration.

Type: object

tcp.connect_timeout​

Maximum amount of time a dial will wait for a connect to complete. Zero disables.

Type: string
Default: "0s"

tcp.keep_alive​

TCP keep-alive probe configuration.

Type: object

tcp.keep_alive.idle​

Duration the connection must be idle before sending the first keep-alive probe. Zero defaults to 15s. Negative values disable keep-alive probes.

Type: string
Default: "15s"

tcp.keep_alive.interval​

Duration between keep-alive probes. Zero defaults to 15s.

Type: string
Default: "15s"

tcp.keep_alive.count​

Maximum unanswered keep-alive probes before dropping the connection. Zero defaults to 9.

Type: int
Default: 9

tcp.tcp_user_timeout​

Maximum time to wait for acknowledgment of transmitted data before killing the connection. Linux-only (kernel 2.6.37+), ignored on other platforms. When enabled, keep_alive.idle must be greater than this value per RFC 5482. Zero disables.

Type: string
Default: "0s"

credentials​

Optional manual configuration of AWS credentials to use. More information can be found in this document.

Type: object

credentials.profile​

A profile from ~/.aws/credentials to use.

Type: string

credentials.id​

The ID of credentials to use.

Type: string

credentials.secret​

Secret

This field contains sensitive information. Use a secret reference rather than a literal value.

Type: string

credentials.token​

The token for the credentials being used, required when using short term credentials.

Secret

This field contains sensitive information. Use a secret reference rather than a literal value.

Type: string

credentials.from_ec2_role​

Use the credentials of a host EC2 machine configured to assume an IAM role associated with the instance.

Type: bool

credentials.role​

A role ARN to assume.

Type: string

credentials.role_external_id​

An external ID to provide when assuming a role.

Type: string

max_retries​

The maximum number of retries before giving up on the request. If set to zero there is no discrete limit.

Type: int
Default: 0

backoff​

Control time intervals between retry attempts.

Type: object

backoff.initial_interval​

The initial period to wait between retry attempts.

Type: string
Default: "1s"

backoff.max_interval​

The maximum period to wait between retry attempts.

Type: string
Default: "5s"

backoff.max_elapsed_time​

The maximum period to wait before retry attempts are abandoned. If zero then no limit is used.

Type: string
Default: "30s"
