Implements IConstruct, IConstruct, IDependable, IInspectable

A CloudFormation AWS::Synthetics::Group.

Creates or updates 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 all AWS Regions, and you can add canaries from any Region to it, and view it in 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.

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.

Example

// The code below shows an example of how to instantiate this type.
// The values are placeholders you should change.
import * as synthetics from '@aws-cdk/aws-synthetics';
const cfnGroup = new synthetics.CfnGroup(this, 'MyCfnGroup', {
  name: 'name',

  // the properties below are optional
  resourceArns: ['resourceArns'],
  tags: [{
    key: 'key',
    value: 'value',
  }],
});

logicalId

Type: string

The logical ID for this CloudFormation stack element.

The logical ID of the element is calculated from the path of the resource node in the construct tree.

addDeletionOverride(path)

public addDeletionOverride(path: string): void

Parameters

path string — The path of the value to delete.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).

addDependsOn(target)

public addDependsOn(target: CfnResource): void

Parameters

target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

addMetadata(key, value)

public addMetadata(key: string, value: any): void

Parameters

key string
value any

Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)

addOverride(path, value)

public addOverride(path: string, value: any): void

Parameters

path string — - The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types.
value any — - The value.

Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

To add a property override, either use addPropertyOverride or prefix path with "Properties." (i.e. Properties.TopicName).

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example,

cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes', ['myattribute']);
cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType', 'INCLUDE');

would add the overrides

"Properties": {
   "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
     {
       "Projection": {
         "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
         ...
       }
       ...
     },
     {
       "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
       ...
     },
   ]
   ...
}

The value argument to addOverride will not be processed or translated in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the template.

addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath)

public addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath: string): void

Parameters

propertyPath string — The path to the property.

Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.

addPropertyOverride(propertyPath, value)

public addPropertyOverride(propertyPath: string, value: any): void

Parameters

propertyPath string — The path of the property.
value any — The value.

Adds an override to a resource property.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride("Properties.<...>", value).

applyRemovalPolicy(policy?, options?)

public applyRemovalPolicy(policy?: RemovalPolicy, options?: RemovalPolicyOptions): void

Parameters

policy RemovalPolicy
options RemovalPolicyOptions

Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you've removed it from the CDK application or because you've made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN).

getAtt(attributeName)

public getAtt(attributeName: string): Reference

Parameters

attributeName string — The name of the attribute.

Returns

Reference

Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. resource.arn), but this can be used for future compatibility in case there is no generated attribute.

getMetadata(key)

public getMetadata(key: string): any

Parameters

key string

Returns

any

Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)

inspect(inspector)

public inspect(inspector: TreeInspector): void

Parameters

inspector TreeInspector — - tree inspector to collect and process attributes.

Examines the CloudFormation resource and discloses attributes.

overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId)

public overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId: string): void

Parameters

newLogicalId string — The new logical ID to use for this stack element.

Overrides the auto-generated logical ID with a specific ID.

toString()

public toString(): string

Returns

string

Returns a string representation of this construct.

protected renderProperties(props)

protected renderProperties(props: { [string]: any }): { [string]: any }

Parameters

props { [string]: any }

Returns

{ [string]: any }
