Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{
  "Type" : "AWS::IoT::SecurityProfile",
  "Properties" : {
      "AdditionalMetricsToRetainV2" : [ MetricToRetain, ... ],
      "AlertTargets" : {Key: Value, ...},
      "Behaviors" : [ Behavior, ... ],
      "MetricsExportConfig" : MetricsExportConfig,
      "SecurityProfileDescription" : String,
      "SecurityProfileName" : String,
      "Tags" : [ Tag, ... ],
      "TargetArns" : [ String, ... ]
    }
}

Properties

AdditionalMetricsToRetainV2

A list of metrics whose data is retained (stored). By default, data is retained for any metric used in the profile's behaviors, but it's also retained for any metric specified here. Can be used with custom metrics; can't be used with dimensions.

Required: No

Type: Array of MetricToRetain

Update requires: No interruption

AlertTargets

Specifies the destinations to which alerts are sent. (Alerts are always sent to the console.) Alerts are generated when a device (thing) violates a behavior.

Required: No

Type: Object of AlertTarget

Update requires: No interruption

Behaviors

Specifies the behaviors that, when violated by a device (thing), cause an alert.

Required: No

Type: Array of Behavior

Maximum: 100

Update requires: No interruption

MetricsExportConfig

Specifies the MQTT topic and role ARN required for metric export.

Required: No

Type: MetricsExportConfig

Update requires: No interruption

SecurityProfileDescription

A description of the security profile.

Required: No

Type: String

Maximum: 1000

Update requires: No interruption

SecurityProfileName

The name you gave to the security profile.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: [a-zA-Z0-9:_-]+

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 128

Update requires: Replacement

Tags

Metadata that can be used to manage the security profile.

Required: No

Type: Array of Tag

Maximum: 50

Update requires: No interruption

TargetArns

The ARN of the target (thing group) to which the security profile is attached.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Maximum: 2048

Update requires: No interruption

Return values

Ref

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns the security profile name.

Fn::GetAtt

The Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.

For more information about using the Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function, see Fn::GetAtt.

SecurityProfileArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the security profile.
