The Amazon Kinesis integration allows you to monitor Amazon Kinesis Data Stream— a serverless streaming data service that makes it easy to capture, process, and store data streams at any scale.

Use the Amazon Kinesis integration to monitor Amazon Kinesis Data Streams. Then visualize that data in Kibana, create alerts to notify you if something goes wrong, and reference metrics when troubleshooting an issue.

**IMPORTANT: Extra AWS charges on API requests will be generated by this integration. Check API Requests for more details.

The Amazon Kinesis integration collects one type of data: metrics.

Metrics give you insight into the state of Amazon Kinesis. Metrics collected by this integration include information about operations related to Amazon Kinesis records, shards, and more. See more details in the Metrics reference.

You need Elasticsearch for storing and searching your data and Kibana for visualizing and managing it. You can use our hosted Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud, which is recommended, or self-manage the Elastic Stack on your own hardware.

Before using any AWS integration you will need:

• AWS Credentials to connect with your AWS account.
• AWS Permissions to make sure the user you’re using to connect has permission to share the relevant data.

For more details about these requirements, please take a look at the AWS integration documentation.

Use this integration if you only need to collect data from the Amazon Kinesis service.

If you want to collect data from two or more AWS services, consider using the AWS integration. When you configure the AWS integration, you can collect data from as many AWS services as you’d like.

For step-by-step instructions on how to set up an integration, see the Getting started guide.
