Next, Netdata should be re-installed +from the source. The installer will detect that the required libraries are now available. + +If the AWS SDK for C++ is being installed from source, it is useful to set `-DBUILD_ONLY="kinesis"`. Otherwise, the +building process could take a very long time. Take a note, that the default installation path for the libraries is +`/usr/local/lib64`. Many Linux distributions don't include this path as the default one for a library search, so it is +advisable to use the following options to `cmake` while building the AWS SDK: + +```sh +cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib -DCMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/include -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DBUILD_ONLY=kinesis +``` + +## Configuration + +To enable data sending to the kinesis backend set the following options in `netdata.conf`: + +```conf +[backend] + enabled = yes + type = kinesis + destination = us-east-1 +``` + +set the `destination` option to an AWS region. + +In the Netdata configuration directory run `./edit-config aws_kinesis.conf` and set AWS credentials and stream name: + +```yaml +# AWS credentials +aws_access_key_id = your_access_key_id +aws_secret_access_key = your_secret_access_key + +# destination stream +stream name = your_stream_name +``` + +Alternatively, AWS credentials can be set for the `netdata` user using AWS SDK for C++ [standard methods](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-cpp/v1/developer-guide/credentials.html). + +A partition key for every record is computed automatically by Netdata with the purpose to distribute records across +available shards evenly. + +[![analytics](https://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&aip=1&t=pageview&_s=1&ds=github&dr=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fnetdata%2Fnetdata&dl=https%3A%2F%2Fmy-netdata.io%2Fgithub%2Fbackends%2Faws_kinesis%2FREADME&_u=MAC~&cid=5792dfd7-8dc4-476b-af31-da2fdb9f93d2&tid=UA-64295674-3)](<>) -- cgit v1.2.3
