aws.kinesis.describe_stream_consumer

Example SQL Queries

SELECT * FROM
aws.kinesis.describe_stream_consumer;

Description

To get the description of a registered consumer, provide the ARN of the consumer. Alternatively, you can provide the ARN of the data stream and the name you gave the consumer when you registered it. You may also provide all three parameters, as long as they don't conflict with each other. If you don't know the name or ARN of the consumer that you want to describe, you can use the ListStreamConsumers operation to get a list of the descriptions of all the consumers that are currently registered with a given data stream.

This operation has a limit of 20 transactions per second per stream.

When making a cross-account call with DescribeStreamConsumer, make sure to provide the ARN of the consumer.

consumer_description.consumer_arn

When you register a consumer, Kinesis Data Streams generates an ARN for it. You need this ARN to be able to call SubscribeToShard.

If you delete a consumer and then create a new one with the same name, it won't have the same ARN. That's because consumer ARNs contain the creation timestamp. This is important to keep in mind if you have IAM policies that reference consumer ARNs.

consumer_description.consumer_creation_timestamp

consumer_description.consumer_name

The name of the consumer is something you choose when you register the consumer.

consumer_description.consumer_status

A consumer can't read data while in the CREATING or DELETING states.

consumer_description.stream_arn

The ARN of the stream with which you registered the consumer.
