ClosedContent Packs and their functionality

To learn about Content Packs and their functionality, see Data Management - Connect the Data Sources .

ClosedImportant Information

  • The AWS Content Pack supports multiple instances.

  • DCS Integration: An extractor using the Data Collection Service mechanism that extracts entities from the source and generates corresponding flat files. For details, see Data Collection Service (DCS) .

  • All fields are case-sensitive.

  • The AWS DCS extraction of the csv file from the S3 bucket, RDS, EC2 LBS, or EC2 instances uses a properties file along with the datasource.xml file. It is available once the AWS content pack is deployed under: %HPBA_Home%/ContentPacks/AWS/conf.

    The properties file defines fixed csv properties, such as the csv file name, suffix, time format, filters in csv file, delayDay, and can be modified.

  • AWS proxy parameters are optional in a public network.
