Hello,
I found that the Amazon Kinesis Modular input uses in part the default AWS region as set in the aws-java-sdk-1.7.13.jar
To be exact for the DynamoDB table used by the Kinesis App, think needed by the KCL.
It defaults to us-east-1, but for my requirements, I need it to be the EU. Is there anyway to configure the Kinesis app to use resources in a particular AWS region? The Kinesis endpoint I can configure so that is fine.
Many thanks!
Hi Damien,
Thanks for your prompt response. I am aware of the Kinesis endpoint configuration - this works fine. Using https://kinesis.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com. Don't think I can specify just the AWS region there fe. eu-west-1?
I'm looking to change the region that the Kinesis app uses - at the moment the Kinesis input will create DynamoDB tables in us-east-1. Need this to be in EU.
Hope this clarifies my question.
Found some information around region selection here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSdkDocsJava/latest/DeveloperGuide/java-dg-region-selection.html
But for what I can see the region setting is arranged in the code. Don't see a way I can influence this in a config file or so...
Many thanks.
Currently , you'd need to fork the code and create your own custom build to acheive this : https://github.com/damiendallimore/SplunkModularInputsJavaFramework/tree/master/kinesis
Hi Damien,
OK understand. Just asking, any chance you can make this part of a future release of the input?
Many thanks!
I'll certainly look at it , the community are always the best source of requirements 🙂
