# Amazon Bedrock connector and action
The Amazon Bedrock connector uses [axios](https://github.com/axios/axios) to send a POST request to Amazon Bedrock.
<important applies-to="Elastic Cloud Serverless: Deprecated, Elastic Stack: Planned for deprecation">
  This connector is deprecated and is being progressively removed from the create connector UI. Existing connectors and their rule actions continue to work.For new AI integrations, use Elasticsearch inference endpoints. Migrate existing LLM connectors and related rule actions before the future removal.
</important>


## Create connectors in Kibana

You can create connectors in **Stack Management > Connectors**.  For example:
![Amazon Bedrock connector](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/kibana/pull/280898/reference/images/bedrock-connector.png)


### Connector configuration

Amazon Bedrock connectors have the following configuration properties:
<definitions>
  <definition term="Name">
    The name of the connector.
  </definition>
  <definition term="API URL">
    The Amazon Bedrock request URL.
  </definition>
  <definition term="Region">

  </definition>
  <definition term="Default model">
    The GAI model for Amazon Bedrock to use. Current support is for the Anthropic Claude models, defaulting to Claude 2. The model can be set on a per request basis by including a "model" parameter alongside the request body.

    The AWS access key for authentication.
  </definition>
  <definition term="Secret">
    The secret for authentication.
  </definition>
</definitions>


## Test connectors

You can test connectors as you’re creating or editing the connector in Kibana. For example:
![Amazon Bedrock params test](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/kibana/pull/280898/reference/images/bedrock-params.png)

The Amazon Bedrock actions have the following configuration properties.
<definitions>
  <definition term="Body">
    A stringified JSON payload sent to the Amazon Bedrock Invoke Model API URL. For example:
    ```text
    {
      body: JSON.stringify({
            prompt: `${combinedMessages} \n\nAssistant:`,
            max_tokens_to_sample: 300,
            stop_sequences: ['\n\nHuman:']
      })
    }
    ```
  </definition>
  <definition term="Model">
    An optional string that will overwrite the connector’s default model. For
  </definition>
</definitions>


## Connector networking configuration

Use the [Action configuration settings](/elastic/kibana/pull/280898/reference/configuration-reference/alerting-settings#action-settings) to customize connector networking configurations, such as proxies, certificates, or TLS settings. You can set configurations that apply to all your connectors or use `xpack.actions.customHostSettings` to set per-host configurations.
