create_pipeline

IoTAnalytics.Client.create_pipeline(**kwargs)

Creates a pipeline. A pipeline consumes messages from a channel and allows you to process the messages before storing them in a data store. You must specify both a channel and a datastore activity and, optionally, as many as 23 additional activities in the pipelineActivities array.

Parameters
  • pipelineName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the pipeline.

  • pipelineActivities (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A list of PipelineActivity objects. Activities perform transformations on your messages, such as removing, renaming or adding message attributes; filtering messages based on attribute values; invoking your Lambda unctions on messages for advanced processing; or performing mathematical transformations to normalize device data.

    The list can be 2-25 PipelineActivity objects and must contain both a channel and a datastore activity. Each entry in the list must contain only one activity. For example:

    pipelineActivities = [ { "channel": { ... } }, { "lambda": { ... } }, ... ]
    • (dict) --

      An activity that performs a transformation on a message.

      • channel (dict) --

        Determines the source of the messages to be processed.

        • name (string) -- [REQUIRED]

          The name of the channel activity.

        • channelName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

          The name of the channel from which the messages are processed.

        • next (string) --

          The next activity in the pipeline.

          The name of the Lambda function that is run on the message.

        • batchSize (integer) -- [REQUIRED]

          The number of messages passed to the Lambda function for processing.

          The Lambda function must be able to process all of these messages within five minutes, which is the maximum timeout duration for Lambda functions.

        • next (string) --

          The next activity in the pipeline.

      • datastore (dict) --

        Specifies where to store the processed message data.

          The name of the addAttributes activity.

        • attributes (dict) -- [REQUIRED]

          A list of 1-50 AttributeNameMapping objects that map an existing attribute to a new attribute.
