+          - First [install](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_us/sdk-for-cpp/v1/developer-guide/setup.html) AWS SDK for C++
+          - Here are the instructions when building from source, to ensure 3rd party dependencies are installed:
+            ```bash
+            git clone --recursive https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp.git
+            cd aws-sdk-cpp/
+            git submodule update --init --recursive
+            mkdir BUILT
+            cd BUILT
+            cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DBUILD_ONLY=kinesis ..
+            make
+            make install
+            ```
+          - `libcrypto`, `libssl`, and `libcurl` are also required to compile Netdata with Kinesis support enabled.
+          - Next, Netdata should be re-installed from the source. The installer will detect that the required libraries are now available.

+        Netdata automatically computes a partition key for every record with the purpose to distribute records across available shards evenly.
+        The following options can be defined for this exporter.

+          detailed_description: |
+            The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
+            - PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
+            - IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
+            - PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
+
+            Example IPv4:
+              ```yaml
+              destination = 10.11.14.2:4242 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:4242
+              ```
+            Example IPv6 and IPv4 together:
+            ```yaml
+            destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003
+            ```
+            When multiple servers are defined, Netdata will try the next one when the previous one fails.

+            Netdata will add some randomness to this number, to prevent stressing the external server when many Netdata servers
+            send data to the same database. This randomness does not affect the quality of the data, only the time they are sent.

+          required: false
+          detailed_description: |
+            If the server fails to receive the data after that many failures, data loss on the connector instance is expected (Netdata will also log it).

+            Hosts filter. Determines which hosts will be sent to the external database. The syntax is [simple patterns](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/libnetdata/simple_pattern#simple-patterns).
+          required: false
+          detailed_description: |
+            Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
+            The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
+            filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
+
+            A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
+            use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).
+        - name: 'send charts matching'
+          default_value: '*'
+          description: |
+            One or more space separated patterns (use * as wildcard) checked against both chart id and chart name.
+          required: false
+          detailed_description: |
+            A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
+            use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
+            positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
+            has a higher priority than the configuration option.

+          description: 'Controls the metric names Netdata should send to the external database (yes|no).'
+          required: false
+          detailed_description: |
+            Netdata supports names and IDs for charts and dimensions. Usually IDs are unique identifiers as read by the system and names
+            are human friendly labels (also unique). Most charts and metrics have the same ID and name, but in several cases they are
+            different : disks with device-mapper, interrupts, QoS classes, statsd synthetic charts, etc.
