To determine the best method to send data from different AWS services, see Send data from AWS to Axiom.

Prerequisites

  • Create an AWS account with permissions to create and manage IoT rules, Lambda functions, and IAM roles.

Create AWS Lambda function

Create a Lambda function with Python runtime and the following content. For more information, see the AWS documentation. The Lambda function acts as an intermediary to process data from AWS IoT and send it to Axiom.
In the environment variables section of the Lambda function configuration, add the following environment variables: Replace API_TOKEN with the Axiom API token you have generated. For added security, store the API token in an environment variable. Replace DATASET_NAME with the name of the Axiom dataset where you send your data. Replace AXIOM_DOMAIN with the base domain of your edge deployment. For more information, see Edge deployments.
This example uses Python for the Lambda function. To use another language, change the code above accordingly.

Create AWS IoT rule

Create an IoT rule with an SQL statement similar to the example below that matches the MQTT messages. For more information, see the AWS documentation.
In Rule actions, select the action to send a message to a Lambda function, and then choose the Lambda function you created earlier.

Check logs in Axiom

Use the AWS IoT Console, AWS CLI, or an MQTT client to publish messages to the topic that matches your rule. For example, iot/topic. In Axiom, go to the Stream tab and select the dataset you specified in the Lambda function. You now see your logs from your IoT devices in Axiom.
