Type: SplunkDestinationConfiguration

Update requires: No interruption

Tags

A set of tags to assign to the Firehose stream. A tag is a key-value pair that you can define and assign to AWS resources. Tags are metadata. For example, you can add friendly names and descriptions or other types of information that can help you distinguish the Firehose stream. For more information about tags, see Using Cost Allocation Tags in the AWS Billing and Cost Management User Guide.

You can specify up to 50 tags when creating a Firehose stream.

If you specify tags in the CreateDeliveryStream action, Amazon Data Firehose performs an additional authorization on the firehose:TagDeliveryStream action to verify if users have permissions to create tags. If you do not provide this permission, requests to create new Firehose streams with IAM resource tags will fail with an AccessDeniedException such as following.

AccessDeniedException

User: arn:aws:sts::x:assumed-role/x/x is not authorized to perform: firehose:TagDeliveryStream on resource: arn:aws:firehose:us-east-1:x:deliverystream/x with an explicit deny in an identity-based policy.

For an example IAM policy, see Tag example.

Required: No

Type: Array of Tag

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 50

Update requires: No interruption

Return values

Ref

When the logical ID of this resource is provided to the Ref intrinsic function, Ref returns the delivery stream name, such as mystack-deliverystream-1ABCD2EF3GHIJ.

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.

Fn::GetAtt

Fn::GetAtt returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.

For more information about using Fn::GetAtt, see Fn::GetAtt.

Arn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the delivery stream, such as arn:aws:firehose:us-east-2:123456789012:deliverystream/delivery-stream-name.

Examples

Create a Kinesis Data Firehose Delivery Stream

The following example creates a Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream that delivers data to an Amazon ES destination. Kinesis Data Firehose backs up all data sent to the destination in an Amazon S3 bucket.
