Integrations
Amazon Kinesis is a platform for streaming data on AWS, offering powerful services to make it easy to load and analyze streaming data, and also providing the ability for you to build custom streaming data applications for specialized needs.
In order to take advantage of the Amazon Kinesis integration, you’ll need the Stream Name, Kinesis Service Region and the credentials of an Identity and Access Management (IAM) user that has access to Kinesis. Refer to the links below for Amazon setup:

The event data will be forwarded as JSON objects. Please refer to the JSON documentation for a detailed description of the data format.
Setting Name | Data Type | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|

Kinesis Service Region | string |
All | This is your Kinesis endpoint region. | |
Unique ID | string |
All | An optional string identifier for your app that will be forwarded with each event batch. Standard app identifiers (Apple OS Bundle ID, Android Package Name) will be forwarded regardless of this setting. | |
Send Lifecycle Events | bool |
