CreateAssetModel

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 AWS 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.

URI Request Parameters

The request does not use any URI parameters.

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

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 AWS IoT SiteWise User Guide.

Type: Array of AssetModelCompositeModelDefinition objects

Required: No

assetModelDescription

A description for the asset model.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.

Pattern: [^\u0000-\u001F\u007F]+

Required: No

assetModelExternalId

An external ID to assign to the asset model. The external ID must be unique within your AWS account. For more information, see Using external IDs in the AWS IoT SiteWise User Guide.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 2. Maximum length of 128.

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

Required: No

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 AWS IoT SiteWise User Guide.

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

Type: Array of AssetModelHierarchyDefinition objects

Required: No

assetModelId

The ID to assign to the asset model, if desired. AWS IoT SiteWise automatically generates a unique ID for you, so this parameter is never required. However, if you prefer to supply your own ID instead, you can specify it here in UUID format. If you specify your own ID, it must be globally unique.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Fixed length of 36.

Pattern: ^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$

Required: No

assetModelName

A unique, friendly name for the asset model.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.

Pattern: [^\u0000-\u001F\u007F]+

Required: Yes

assetModelProperties

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

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

Type: Array of AssetModelPropertyDefinition objects

Required: No

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.

Type: String

Valid Values: ASSET_MODEL | COMPONENT_MODEL

Required: No

clientToken

A unique case-sensitive identifier that you can provide to ensure the idempotency of the request. Don't reuse this client token if a new idempotent request is required.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 36. Maximum length of 64.

Pattern: \S{36,64}

Required: No

tags

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

Type: String to string map

Map Entries: Maximum number of 50 items.

Key Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Value Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 256.

Required: No

assetModelId

The ID of the asset model, in UUID format. You can use this ID when you call other AWS IoT SiteWise API operations.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Fixed length of 36.

Pattern: ^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$

Type: AssetModelStatus object

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

ConflictingOperationException

Your request has conflicting operations. This can occur if you're trying to perform more than one operation on the same resource at the same time.

HTTP Status Code: 409

InternalFailureException

AWS IoT SiteWise can't process your request right now. Try again later.
