Before using this collector, you must install the 'Integration Core Package' and its accompanying third-party dependencies.

1. Configuration Structure¶

The configuration structure of this collector is as follows:

Field	Type	Required	Description
`regions`	list	Required	List of regions to be collected
`regions[#]`	str	Required	Region ID. For example: `'cn-north-1'` See the appendix for the full list

2. Configuration Example¶

collector_configs = {
    'regions': [ 'cn-northwest-1', 'cn-north-1' ]
}

3. Data Reporting Format¶

After data is successfully synchronized, you can view the data in the 'Infrastructure - Resource Catalog' of TrueWatch.

An example of the reported data is as follows:

{
  "measurement": "aws_dynamodb",
  "tags": {
      "RegionId"        : "cn-north-1",
      "TableArn"        : "arn:aws-cn:dynamodb:cn-north-1:",
      "TableId"         : "0ce8d4f9b35",
      "TableName"       : "eks-tflock",
      "TableStatus"     : "ACTIVE",
      "name"            : "eks-tflock"
  },
  "fields": {
    "AttributeDefinitions"  : "[{\"AttributeName\": \"LockID\", \"AttributeType\": \"S\"}]",
    "BillingModeSummary"    : "{}",
    "CreationDateTime"      : "2023-03-22T23:39:42.352000+08:00",
    "ItemCount"             : "1",
    "KeySchema"             : "[{\"AttributeName\": \"LockID\", \"KeyType\": \"HASH\"}]",
    "LocalSecondaryIndexes" : "{}",
    "TableSizeBytes"        : "96",
    "message"               : "{Instance JSON Information}"
  }
}

Note

The fields in tags and fields may change with subsequent updates.
