Creating an asset (console)

You can use the Amazon IoT SiteWise console to create an asset.

To create an asset (console)

  1. Navigate to the Amazon IoT SiteWise console.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Assets.

  3. Choose Create asset.

  4. On the Create asset page, do the following:

    1. For Model, choose the asset model from which to create an asset.

      Note

      If your model isn't ACTIVE, you must wait until it's active, or resolve issues if it's FAILED.

    2. Enter a Name for your asset.

    3. (Optional) Add tags for your asset. For more information, see Tagging your Amazon IoT SiteWise resources.

    4. Choose Create asset.

    When you create an asset, the Amazon IoT SiteWise console navigates to the new asset's page. On this page, you can see the asset's Status, which is initially CREATING. This page automatically updates, so you can wait for the asset's status to update.

    Note

    The asset creation process can take up to a minute. After the Status is ACTIVE, you can perform update operations on your asset. For more information, see Asset and model states.

After you create an asset, see Configuring a new asset.
