HTTP topic rule destination overview
An HTTP topic rule destination refers to a web service that supports a confirmation URL and one or more data collection URLs. The HTTP topic rule destination resource contains the confirmation URL of your web service. When you configure an HTTP topic rule action, you specify the actual URL of the endpoint that should receive the data along with the web service's confirmation URL. After your destination is confirmed, the topic rule sends the result of the SQL statement to the HTTPS endpoint (and not to the confirmation URL).
An HTTP topic rule destination can be in one of the following states:
- ENABLED
-
The destination has been confirmed and can be used by a rule action. A destination must be in the
ENABLEDstate for it to be used in a rule. You can only enable a destination that's in DISABLED status. - DISABLED
-
The destination has been confirmed but it can't be used by a rule action. This is useful if you want to temporarily prevent traffic to your endpoint without having to go through the confirmation process again. You can only disable a destination that's in ENABLED status.
- IN_PROGRESS
-
Confirmation of the destination is in progress.
- ERROR
-
Destination confirmation timed out.
After an HTTP topic rule destination has been confirmed and enabled, it can be used with any rule in your account.
The following sections describe common actions on HTTP topic rule destinations.
