HAQM Kinesis Agent is a pre-built Java application that offers an easy way to collect and ingest data into HAQM Kinesis services. The agent monitors log files you specify and continuously sends new data to HAQM Kinesis Streams and HAQM Kinesis Firehose.
HAQM Kinesis Agent now supports using an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role for authentication. You can set an IAM role in the agent configuration and the agent will assume the role to get permission to put data into your Kinesis streams and Firehose delivery streams.
For more information, see Writing to HAQM Kinesis Firehose with HAQM Kinesis Agent in the HAQM Kinesis Firehose Developer Guide and Writing to HAQM Kinesis Streams with HAQM Kinesis Agent in the HAQM Kinesis Streams Developer Guide.
