AWS::IoTSiteWise::AssetModel - Amazon CloudFormation
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

AWS::IoTSiteWise::AssetModel

Creates an asset model from specified property and hierarchy definitions. You create assets from asset models. With asset models, you can easily create assets of the same type that have standardized definitions. Each asset created from a model inherits the asset model's property and hierarchy definitions. For more information, see Defining asset models in the Amazon IoT SiteWise User Guide.

You can create two types of asset models, ASSET_MODEL or COMPONENT_MODEL.

  • ASSET_MODEL – (default) An asset model that you can use to create assets. Can't be included as a component in another asset model.

  • COMPONENT_MODEL – A reusable component that you can include in the composite models of other asset models. You can't create assets directly from this type of asset model.

Syntax

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

JSON

{ "Type" : "AWS::IoTSiteWise::AssetModel", "Properties" : { "AssetModelCompositeModels" : [ AssetModelCompositeModel, ... ], "AssetModelDescription" : String, "AssetModelExternalId" : String, "AssetModelHierarchies" : [ AssetModelHierarchy, ... ], "AssetModelName" : String, "AssetModelProperties" : [ AssetModelProperty, ... ], "AssetModelType" : String, "Tags" : [ Tag, ... ] } }

Properties

AssetModelCompositeModels

The composite models that are part of this asset model. It groups properties (such as attributes, measurements, transforms, and metrics) and child composite models that model parts of your industrial equipment. Each composite model has a type that defines the properties that the composite model supports. Use composite models to define alarms on this asset model.

Note

When creating custom composite models, you need to use CreateAssetModelCompositeModel. For more information, see Creating custom composite models (Components) in the Amazon IoT SiteWise User Guide.

Required: No

Type: Array of AssetModelCompositeModel

Update requires: No interruption

AssetModelDescription

A description for the asset model.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

AssetModelExternalId

The external ID of the asset model. For more information, see Using external IDs in the Amazon IoT SiteWise User Guide.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: [a-zA-Z0-9_][a-zA-Z_\-0-9.:]*[a-zA-Z0-9_]+

Minimum: 2

Maximum: 128

Update requires: No interruption

AssetModelHierarchies

The hierarchy definitions of the asset model. Each hierarchy specifies an asset model whose assets can be children of any other assets created from this asset model. For more information, see Asset hierarchies in the Amazon IoT SiteWise User Guide.

You can specify up to 10 hierarchies per asset model. For more information, see Quotas in the Amazon IoT SiteWise User Guide.

Required: No

Type: Array of AssetModelHierarchy

Update requires: No interruption

AssetModelName

A unique, friendly name for the asset model.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

AssetModelProperties

The property definitions of the asset model. For more information, see Asset properties in the Amazon IoT SiteWise User Guide.

You can specify up to 200 properties per asset model. For more information, see Quotas in the Amazon IoT SiteWise User Guide.

Required: No

Type: Array of AssetModelProperty

Update requires: No interruption

AssetModelType

The type of asset model.

  • ASSET_MODEL – (default) An asset model that you can use to create assets. Can't be included as a component in another asset model.

  • COMPONENT_MODEL – A reusable component that you can include in the composite models of other asset models. You can't create assets directly from this type of asset model.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

Tags

A list of key-value pairs that contain metadata for the asset. For more information, see Tagging your Amazon IoT SiteWise resources in the Amazon IoT SiteWise User Guide.

Required: No

Type: Array of Tag

Update requires: No interruption

Return values

Ref

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

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.

AssetModelId

The ID of the asset model.

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.
