Synthetics.Client¶A low-level client representing Synthetics
You can use Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics to continually monitor your services. You can create and manage canaries , which are modular, lightweight scripts that monitor your endpoints and APIs from the outside-in. You can set up your canaries to run 24 hours a day, once per minute. The canaries help you check the availability and latency of your web services and troubleshoot anomalies by investigating load time data, screenshots of the UI, logs, and metrics. The canaries seamlessly integrate with CloudWatch ServiceLens to help you trace the causes of impacted nodes in your applications. For more information, see Using ServiceLens to Monitor the Health of Your Applications in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide .
Before you create and manage canaries, be aware of the security considerations. For more information, see Security Considerations for Synthetics Canaries.

create_canary(**kwargs)¶Creates a canary. Canaries are scripts that monitor your endpoints and APIs from the outside-in. Canaries help you check the availability and latency of your web services and troubleshoot anomalies by investigating load time data, screenshots of the UI, logs, and metrics. You can set up a canary to run continuously or just once.
Do not use CreateCanary to modify an existing canary. Use UpdateCanary instead.
To create canaries, you must have the CloudWatchSyntheticsFullAccess policy. If you are creating a new IAM role for the canary, you also need the iam:CreateRole , iam:CreatePolicy and iam:AttachRolePolicy permissions. For more information, see Necessary Roles and Permissions.
Do not include secrets or proprietary information in your canary names. The canary name makes up part of the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the canary, and the ARN is included in outbound calls over the internet. For more information, see Security Considerations for Synthetics Canaries.

[REQUIRED]
The name for this canary. Be sure to give it a descriptive name that distinguishes it from other canaries in your account.
Do not include secrets or proprietary information in your canary names. The canary name makes up part of the canary ARN, and the ARN is included in outbound calls over the internet. For more information, see Security Considerations for Synthetics Canaries.
[REQUIRED]
A structure that includes the entry point from which the canary should start running your script. If the script is stored in an S3 bucket, the bucket name, key, and version are also included.
If your canary script is located in S3, specify the bucket name here. Do not include s3:// as the start of the bucket name.
The S3 key of your script. For more information, see Working with Amazon S3 Objects.
The S3 version ID of your script.
If you input your canary script directly into the canary instead of referring to an S3 location, the value of this parameter is the base64-encoded contents of the .zip file that contains the script. It must be smaller than 225 Kb.
For large canary scripts, we recommend that you use an S3 location instead of inputting it directly with this parameter.
The entry point to use for the source code when running the canary. For canaries that use the syn-python-selenium-1.0 runtime or a syn-nodejs.puppeteer runtime earlier than syn-nodejs.puppeteer-3.4 , the handler must be specified as fileName.handler . For syn-python-selenium-1.1 , syn-nodejs.puppeteer-3.4 , and later runtimes, the handler can be specified as fileName.functionName , or you can specify a folder where canary scripts reside as folder/fileName.functionName .
[REQUIRED]
The location in Amazon S3 where Synthetics stores artifacts from the test runs of this canary. Artifacts include the log file, screenshots, and HAR files. The name of the S3 bucket can't include a period (.).
[REQUIRED]
The ARN of the IAM role to be used to run the canary. This role must already exist, and must include lambda.amazonaws.com as a principal in the trust policy. The role must also have the following permissions:
s3:PutObjects3:GetBucketLocations3:ListAllMyBucketscloudwatch:PutMetricDatalogs:CreateLogGrouplogs:CreateLogStreamlogs:PutLogEvents[REQUIRED]
A structure that contains information about how often the canary is to run and when these test runs are to stop.
A rate expression or a cron expression that defines how often the canary is to run.
For a rate expression, The syntax is rate(number unit) . unit can be minute , minutes , or hour .
For example, rate(1 minute) runs the canary once a minute, rate(10 minutes) runs it once every 10 minutes, and rate(1 hour) runs it once every hour. You can specify a frequency between rate(1 minute) and rate(1 hour) .
Specifying rate(0 minute) or rate(0 hour) is a special value that causes the canary to run only once when it is started.
Use cron(expression) to specify a cron expression. You can't schedule a canary to wait for more than a year before running. For information about the syntax for cron expressions, see Scheduling canary runs using cron.
How long, in seconds, for the canary to continue making regular runs according to the schedule in the Expression value. If you specify 0, the canary continues making runs until you stop it. If you omit this field, the default of 0 is used.
A structure that contains the configuration for individual canary runs, such as timeout value and environment variables.
Warning
The environment variables keys and values are not encrypted. Do not store sensitive information in this field.
How long the canary is allowed to run before it must stop. You can't set this time to be longer than the frequency of the runs of this canary.
If you omit this field, the frequency of the canary is used as this value, up to a maximum of 14 minutes.
The maximum amount of memory available to the canary while it is running, in MB. This value must be a multiple of 64.
Specifies whether this canary is to use active X-Ray tracing when it runs. Active tracing enables this canary run to be displayed in the ServiceLens and X-Ray service maps even if the canary does not hit an endpoint that has X-Ray tracing enabled. Using X-Ray tracing incurs charges. For more information, see Canaries and X-Ray tracing.
You can enable active tracing only for canaries that use version syn-nodejs-2.0 or later for their canary runtime.
Specifies the keys and values to use for any environment variables used in the canary script. Use the following format:
{ "key1" : "value1", "key2" : "value2", ...}
Keys must start with a letter and be at least two characters. The total size of your environment variables cannot exceed 4 KB. You can't specify any Lambda reserved environment variables as the keys for your environment variables. For more information about reserved keys, see Runtime environment variables.
Warning
The environment variables keys and values are not encrypted. Do not store sensitive information in this field.
[REQUIRED]
Specifies the runtime version to use for the canary. For a list of valid runtime versions and more information about runtime versions, see Canary Runtime Versions.
If this canary is to test an endpoint in a VPC, this structure contains information about the subnet and security groups of the VPC endpoint. For more information, see Running a Canary in a VPC.
The IDs of the subnets where this canary is to run.
The IDs of the security groups for this canary.
A list of key-value pairs to associate with the canary. You can associate as many as 50 tags with a canary.
Tags can help you organize and categorize your resources. You can also use them to scope user permissions, by granting a user permission to access or change only the resources that have certain tag values.
A structure that contains the configuration for canary artifacts, including the encryption-at-rest settings for artifacts that the canary uploads to Amazon S3.
A structure that contains the configuration of the encryption-at-rest settings for artifacts that the canary uploads to Amazon S3. Artifact encryption functionality is available only for canaries that use Synthetics runtime version syn-nodejs-puppeteer-3.3 or later. For more information, see Encrypting canary artifacts

Exceptions
Synthetics.Client.exceptions.InternalServerExceptionSynthetics.Client.exceptions.ValidationExceptionSynthetics.Client.exceptions.RequestEntityTooLargeExceptioncreate_group(**kwargs)¶Creates a group which you can use to associate canaries with each other, including cross-Region canaries. Using groups can help you with managing and automating your canaries, and you can also view aggregated run results and statistics for all canaries in a group.
Groups are global resources. When you create a group, it is replicated across Amazon Web Services Regions, and you can view it and add canaries to it from any Region. Although the group ARN format reflects the Region name where it was created, a group is not constrained to any Region. This means that you can put canaries from multiple Regions into the same group, and then use that group to view and manage all of those canaries in a single view.
Groups are supported in all Regions except the Regions that are disabled by default. For more information about these Regions, see Enabling a Region.
Each group can contain as many as 10 canaries. You can have as many as 20 groups in your account. Any single canary can be a member of up to 10 groups.

Use cron(expression) to specify a cron expression. You can't schedule a canary to wait for more than a year before running. For information about the syntax for cron expressions, see Scheduling canary runs using cron.
How long, in seconds, for the canary to continue making regular runs according to the schedule in the Expression value. If you specify 0, the canary continues making runs until you stop it. If you omit this field, the default of 0 is used.
A structure that contains the timeout value that is used for each individual run of the canary.
Warning
The environment variables keys and values are not encrypted. Do not store sensitive information in this field.
How long the canary is allowed to run before it must stop. You can't set this time to be longer than the frequency of the runs of this canary.
If you omit this field, the frequency of the canary is used as this value, up to a maximum of 14 minutes.
The maximum amount of memory available to the canary while it is running, in MB. This value must be a multiple of 64.
Specifies whether this canary is to use active X-Ray tracing when it runs. Active tracing enables this canary run to be displayed in the ServiceLens and X-Ray service maps even if the canary does not hit an endpoint that has X-Ray tracing enabled. Using X-Ray tracing incurs charges. For more information, see Canaries and X-Ray tracing.
You can enable active tracing only for canaries that use version syn-nodejs-2.0 or later for their canary runtime.
Specifies the keys and values to use for any environment variables used in the canary script. Use the following format:
{ "key1" : "value1", "key2" : "value2", ...}
Keys must start with a letter and be at least two characters. The total size of your environment variables cannot exceed 4 KB. You can't specify any Lambda reserved environment variables as the keys for your environment variables. For more information about reserved keys, see Runtime environment variables.
Warning
The environment variables keys and values are not encrypted. Do not store sensitive information in this field.
If this canary is to test an endpoint in a VPC, this structure contains information about the subnet and security groups of the VPC endpoint. For more information, see Running a Canary in a VPC.
The IDs of the subnets where this canary is to run.
The IDs of the security groups for this canary.
Defines the screenshots to use as the baseline for comparisons during visual monitoring comparisons during future runs of this canary. If you omit this parameter, no changes are made to any baseline screenshots that the canary might be using already.
Visual monitoring is supported only on canaries running the syn-puppeteer-node-3.2 runtime or later. For more information, see Visual monitoring and Visual monitoring blueprint
An array of screenshots that will be used as the baseline for visual monitoring in future runs of this canary. If there is a screenshot that you don't want to be used for visual monitoring, remove it from this array.
A structure representing a screenshot that is used as a baseline during visual monitoring comparisons made by the canary.
The name of the screenshot. This is generated the first time the canary is run after the UpdateCanary operation that specified for this canary to perform visual monitoring.
Coordinates that define the part of a screen to ignore during screenshot comparisons. To obtain the coordinates to use here, use the CloudWatch console to draw the boundaries on the screen. For more information, see Editing or deleting a canary
Specifies which canary run to use the screenshots from as the baseline for future visual monitoring with this canary. Valid values are nextrun to use the screenshots from the next run after this update is made, lastrun to use the screenshots from the most recent run before this update was made, or the value of Id in the CanaryRun from any past run of this canary.
A structure that contains the configuration for canary artifacts, including the encryption-at-rest settings for artifacts that the canary uploads to Amazon S3.
A structure that contains the configuration of the encryption-at-rest settings for artifacts that the canary uploads to Amazon S3. Artifact encryption functionality is available only for canaries that use Synthetics runtime version syn-nodejs-puppeteer-3.3 or later. For more information, see Encrypting canary artifacts
The encryption method to use for artifacts created by this canary. Specify SSE_S3 to use server-side encryption (SSE) with an Amazon S3-managed key. Specify SSE-KMS to use server-side encryption with a customer-managed KMS key.
If you omit this parameter, an Amazon Web Services-managed KMS key is used.
The ARN of the customer-managed KMS key to use, if you specify SSE-KMS for EncryptionMode
