Actions for AWS IoT Rule

---

End-of-Support

AWS CDK v1 has reached End-of-Support on 2023-06-01. This package is no longer being updated, and users should migrate to AWS CDK v2.

For more information on how to migrate, see the Migrating to AWS CDK v2 guide.


This library contains integration classes to send data to any number of supported AWS Services. Instances of these classes should be passed to TopicRule defined in @aws-cdk/aws-iot.

Currently supported are:

  • Republish a message to another MQTT topic
  • Invoke a Lambda function
  • Put objects to a S3 bucket
  • Put logs to CloudWatch Logs
  • Capture CloudWatch metrics
  • Change state for a CloudWatch alarm
  • Put records to Kinesis Data stream
  • Put records to Kinesis Data Firehose stream
  • Send messages to SQS queues
  • Publish messages on SNS topics

Republish a message to another MQTT topic

The code snippet below creates an AWS IoT Rule that republish a message to another MQTT topic when it is triggered.

iot.TopicRule(self, "TopicRule",
    sql=iot.IotSql.from_string_as_ver20160323("SELECT topic(2) as device_id, timestamp() as timestamp, temperature FROM 'device/+/data'"),
    actions=[
        actions.IotRepublishMqttAction("${topic()}/republish",
            quality_of_service=actions.MqttQualityOfService.AT_LEAST_ONCE
        )
    ]
)

Invoke a Lambda function

The code snippet below creates an AWS IoT Rule that invoke a Lambda function when it is triggered.

func = lambda_.Function(self, "MyFunction",
    runtime=lambda_.Runtime.NODEJS_14_X,
    handler="index.handler",
    code=lambda_.Code.from_inline("""
            exports.handler = (event) => {
              console.log("It is test for lambda action of AWS IoT Rule.", event);
            };""")
)

iot.TopicRule(self, "TopicRule",
    sql=iot.IotSql.from_string_as_ver20160323("SELECT topic(2) as device_id, timestamp() as timestamp, temperature FROM 'device/+/data'"),
    actions=[actions.LambdaFunctionAction(func)]
)

Put objects to a S3 bucket

The code snippet below creates an AWS IoT Rule that put objects to a S3 bucket when it is triggered.

bucket = s3.Bucket(self, "MyBucket")

iot.TopicRule(self, "TopicRule",
    sql=iot.IotSql.from_string_as_ver20160323("SELECT topic(2) as device_id FROM 'device/+/data'"),
    actions=[actions.S3PutObjectAction(bucket)]
)

The property key of S3PutObjectAction is given the value ${topic()}/${timestamp()} by default. This ${topic()} and ${timestamp()} is called Substitution templates. For more information see this documentation. In above sample, ${topic()} is replaced by a given MQTT topic as device/001/data. And ${timestamp()} is replaced by the number of the current timestamp in milliseconds as 1636289461203. So if the MQTT broker receives an MQTT topic device/001/data on 2021-11-07T00:00:00.000Z, the S3 bucket object will be put to device/001/data/1636243200000.

You can also set specific key as following:

bucket = s3.Bucket(self, "MyBucket")

iot.TopicRule(self, "TopicRule",
    sql=iot.IotSql.from_string_as_ver20160323("SELECT topic(2) as device_id, year, month, day FROM 'device/+/data'"),
    actions=[
        actions.S3PutObjectAction(bucket,
            key="${year}/${month}/${day}/${topic(2)}"
        )
    ]
)

If you wanna set access control to the S3 bucket object, you can specify accessControl as following:

bucket = s3.Bucket(self, "MyBucket")

iot.TopicRule(self, "TopicRule",
    sql=iot.IotSql.from_string_as_ver20160323("SELECT * FROM 'device/+/data'"),
    actions=[
        actions.S3PutObjectAction(bucket,
            access_control=s3.BucketAccessControl.PUBLIC_READ
        )
    ]
)

Put logs to CloudWatch Logs

The code snippet below creates an AWS IoT Rule that put logs to CloudWatch Logs when it is triggered.

import aws_cdk.aws_logs as logs


log_group = logs.LogGroup(self, "MyLogGroup")

iot.TopicRule(self, "TopicRule",
    sql=iot.IotSql.from_string_as_ver20160323("SELECT topic(2) as device_id FROM 'device/+/data'"),
    actions=[actions.CloudWatchLogsAction(log_group)]
)

Capture CloudWatch metrics

The code snippet below creates an AWS IoT Rule that capture CloudWatch metrics when it is triggered.

topic_rule = iot.TopicRule(self, "TopicRule",
    sql=iot.IotSql.from_string_as_ver20160323("SELECT topic(2) as device_id, namespace, unit, value, timestamp FROM 'device/+/data'"),
    actions=[
        actions.CloudWatchPutMetricAction(
            metric_name="${topic(2)}",
            metric_namespace="${namespace}",
            metric_unit="${unit}",
            metric_value="${value}",
            metric_timestamp="${timestamp}"
        )
    ]
)

import aws_cdk.aws_cloudwatch as cloudwatch


metric = cloudwatch.Metric(
    namespace="MyNamespace",

    dimensions={"MyDimension": "MyDimensionValue"}
)
alarm = cloudwatch.Alarm(self, "MyAlarm",
    metric=metric,
    threshold=100,
    evaluation_periods=3,
    datapoints_to_alarm=2
)

topic_rule = iot.TopicRule(self, "TopicRule",
    sql=iot.IotSql.from_string_as_ver20160323("SELECT topic(2) as device_id FROM 'device/+/data'"),
    actions=[
        actions.CloudWatchSetAlarmStateAction(alarm,
            reason="AWS Iot Rule action is triggered",
            alarm_state_to_set=cloudwatch.AlarmState.ALARM
        )
    ]
)

The code snippet below creates an AWS IoT Rule that put records to Kinesis Data stream when it is triggered.

import aws_cdk.aws_kinesis as kinesis


stream = kinesis.Stream(self, "MyStream")

topic_rule = iot.TopicRule(self, "TopicRule",
    sql=iot.IotSql.from_string_as_ver20160323("SELECT * FROM 'device/+/data'"),
    actions=[
        actions.KinesisPutRecordAction(stream,
            partition_key="${newuuid()}"
        )
    ]
)

import aws_cdk.aws_kinesisfirehose as firehose
import aws_cdk.aws_kinesisfirehose_destinations as destinations


bucket = s3.Bucket(self, "MyBucket")
stream = firehose.DeliveryStream(self, "MyStream",
    destinations=[destinations.S3Bucket(bucket)]
)

topic_rule = iot.TopicRule(self, "TopicRule",
    sql=iot.IotSql.from_string_as_ver20160323("SELECT * FROM 'device/+/data'"),
    actions=[
        actions.FirehosePutRecordAction(stream,
