Create a Data Catalog by Using the AWS Glue Crawler

Focus mode
Create a Data Catalog by Using the AWS Glue Crawler - Amazon AppStream 2.0

The AWS Glue crawler, when run, creates a Data Catalog and schema that are mapped to the structure of your sessions and applications reports. Each time a new report is stored in your Amazon S3 bucket, you must run the crawler to update your AWS Glue Data Catalog with the data from the new report.

Note

Charges may apply to the running of your AWS Glue crawler. For more information, see AWS Glue Pricing.

  1. Open the AWS Glue console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/glue/.

  2. Choose the AWS Region for which you have subscribed to usage reports.

  3. Select the check box next to the crawler named appstream-usage-sessions-crawler, and then choose Run crawler. Repeat this step for the crawler named appstream-usage-apps-crawler.

    Performing these steps runs the crawlers and schedules them to run automatically according to the schedule specified in the AWS CloudFormation stack.

  4. After both crawlers finish running, in the navigation pane, choose Databases. A database named appstream-usage, which represents your usage reports, displays. This database is an AWS Glue Data Catalog that was created when appstream-usage-sessions-crawler and appstream-usage-apps-crawler were run.

  5. To view the tables in the database, choose appstream-usage, Tables. Two tables, applications and sessions, which represent your applications and sessions usage reports respectively, display. Choose either table to view its schema.

    You can now query these tables in Athena by using SQL.
