Message payload syntax

The field names of message payloads (data) that you send to Amazon IoT Analytics:

  • Must contain only alphanumeric characters and underscores (_); no other special characters are allowed

  • Must begin with an alphabetic character or single underscore (_).

  • Cannot contain hyphens (-).

  • In regular expression terms: "^[A-Za-z_]([A-Za-z0-9]*|[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9_]*)$".

  • Cannot be greater than 255 characters.

  • Are case-insensitive. Fields named "foo" and "FOO" in the same payload are considered duplicates.

For example, {"temp_01": 29} or {"_temp_01": 29} are valid, but {"temp-01": 29}, {"01_temp": 29} or {"__temp_01": 29} are invalid in message payloads.
