Response Structure

• (dict) --

  • StreamDescriptionSummary (dict) --

    A StreamDescriptionSummary containing information about the stream.

    • StreamName (string) --

      The name of the stream being described.

    • StreamARN (string) --

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the stream being described.

    • StreamStatus (string) --

      The current status of the stream being described. The stream status is one of the following states:

      • CREATING - The stream is being created. Kinesis Streams immediately returns and sets StreamStatus to CREATING .

      • DELETING - The stream is being deleted. The specified stream is in the DELETING state until Kinesis Streams completes the deletion.

      • ACTIVE - The stream exists and is ready for read and write operations or deletion. You should perform read and write operations only on an ACTIVE stream.

      • UPDATING - Shards in the stream are being merged or split. Read and write operations continue to work while the stream is in the UPDATING state.

    • RetentionPeriodHours (integer) --

      The current retention period, in hours.

    • StreamCreationTimestamp (datetime) --

      The approximate time that the stream was created.

    • EnhancedMonitoring (list) --

      Represents the current enhanced monitoring settings of the stream.

      • (dict) --

        Represents enhanced metrics types.

        • ShardLevelMetrics (list) --

          List of shard-level metrics.

          The following are the valid shard-level metrics. The value "ALL " enhances every metric.

          • IncomingBytes

          • IncomingRecords

          • OutgoingBytes

          • OutgoingRecords

          • WriteProvisionedThroughputExceeded

          • ReadProvisionedThroughputExceeded

          • IteratorAgeMilliseconds

          • ALL

          For more information, see Monitoring the Amazon Kinesis Streams Service with Amazon CloudWatch in the Amazon Kinesis Streams Developer Guide .

          • (string) --

    • EncryptionType (string) --

      The encryption type used. This value is one of the following:

      • KMS

      • NONE

    • KeyId (string) --

      The GUID for the customer-managed KMS key to use for encryption. This value can be a globally unique identifier, a fully specified ARN to either an alias or a key, or an alias name prefixed by "alias/".You can also use a master key owned by Kinesis Streams by specifying the alias aws/kinesis .

      • Key ARN example: arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012

      • Alias ARN example: arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:alias/MyAliasName

      • Globally unique key ID example: 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012

      • Alias name example: alias/MyAliasName

      • Master key owned by Kinesis: alias/aws/kinesis

    • OpenShardCount (integer) --

      The number of open shards in the stream.
