Mapping external alarm state streams

You can define property aliases to map your data streams to your alarm state properties. This helps you easily identify an alarm state property when you ingest or retrieve data. For more information about property aliases, see Mapping industrial data streams to asset properties.

Mapping external alarm state streams (console)

You can use the Amazon IoT SiteWise console to set an alias for an alarm state property.

  6. Choose View.

  7. In the Alarm state details pane, choose Edit.

Mapping external alarm state streams (CLI)

You can use the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI) to set an alias for an alarm state property.

You must know your asset's assetId and property's propertyId to complete this procedure. If you created an asset but don't know its assetId, use the ListAssets operation to view all of your assets for a specific model. Then, use the DescribeAsset operation to view your asset's properties including property IDs.

Note

The DescribeAsset response includes the list of composite asset models for the asset. Each alarm is a composite model. To find the propertyId, find the composite model for the alarm, and then find the AWS/ALARM_STATE property in that composite model.

For more information about how to set the property alias, see Setting a property alias (CLI).
