Amazon DynamoDB table

Smartscape node name: aws.resource.name

Smartscape node type: AWS_DYNAMODB_TABLE

This entity represents an Amazon DynamoDB table.

Query

Fetch all Smartscape nodes from the smartscape.nodes table and filter for the entity type "AWS_DYNAMODB_TABLE"

smartscapeNodes "AWS_DYNAMODB_TABLE"

Fetch all AWS_DYNAMODB_TABLE nodes from the smartscape.nodes table and filter those with continuous backup disabled.

smartscapeNodes "AWS_DYNAMODB_TABLE"
| parse aws.object, "JSON:aws.object"
| fieldsAdd continuousBackupStatus = aws.object[supplementary_configuration][continuousBackupsDescription][continuousBackupsStatus]
| filter continuousBackupStatus!="ENABLED"

ID input

The ID is calculated based on the following fields in the defined order: aws.arn

Base entity fields

The following base fields are used for all entities.

Attribute	Type	Description	Examples
`id`	smartscapeId	stable Display name: `ID` A Smartscape ID consists of two components: an UPPER_CASE entity type and a random 16-character hexadecimal unique identifier, separated by a dash. Use Smartscape conversion functions when working with strings that represent Smartscape IDs.	`<type>-017198AD253CBD63`
`id_classic`	string	deprecated Display name: `Classic ID` The entity ID that was used in the classic entity store. This ID is present in old monitoring data. Not all entities have this ID, and it is not generated for new entities. Use the `id` field instead, which is the Smartscape ID.	`<type>-017198AD253CBD63`
`name`	string	stable Display name: `Name` The entity name.	`localhost`; `easyTravel`; `product-catalog`
`type`	string	stable Display name: `Type` The entity type. UPPER_SNAKE_CASE string that represents the type of the entity.	`TYPE_A`
`tags`	record	stable Display name: `Tags` A consolidated record that aggregates all tag values originating from different contexts. Each nested field within tags represents a specific key (for example, `release` or `name`). The value of each nested field is the tag value from one or multiple contexts. Tags for specific context can be queried via `tags:context` field. Note that rule-based tags do not exist in the new model.	`tags[tag_key-1] = [context_A_tag_val-1, context_B_tag_val-1]`; `tags[tag_key-2] = context_C_tag_val-1`; `tags:context_A[tag_key-1] = context_A_tag_val-1`
`lifetime`	timeframe	stable Display name: `Lifetime` The lifetime of the entity. This is a record with two nested fields: `start` and `end`, which represent the time when the entity was first and last observed, respectively. Each time an entity is updated, the end time is updated to the current time.	`{ start: 2022-07-06T13:36:00.808Z, end: 2024-04-11T06:56:01.204Z }`
`references`	record	stable Display name: `References` Provides access to static edges pointing to other entities. In this record each nested field represents a relationship type and target type, and the value is an array of target smartscape IDs. This field is hidden by default but can be added using the fieldsAdd command.	`{ references[runs_on.host] : [HOST-C251A1173C2B4B39,HOST-0E9038C7C4409D69], references[runs_on.container] : [CONTAINER-68A08967EF4F675B] }`
`dt.security_context`	string[]	resource stable Display name: `DT security context` The security contexts associated with the entity. For Smartscape entities, this field is always an array. Tags: `permission`	`[]`

Cloud entity fields

Fields that are provided by all Cloud workloads.

Attribute	Type	Description	Examples
`cloud.acquisition.status`	string	experimental Display name: `Cloud acquisition status` The status of Smartscape nodes data acquisition by Data Acquisition Conroller `OK` - node is consistent `DELETED` - node was deleted in the cloud platform `ERROR` - there was an error acquiring node, but the node was upserted `INCOMPLETE` - there was an error acquiring node child resource (ie. EC2 Instance, with no EBS volumes due to missing permissions) , but the node was upserted.	`OK`; `DELETED`; `ERROR`; `INCOMPLETE`

AWS resource fields

Attribute	Type	Description	Examples
`aws.object`	string	stable Display name: `AWS object` The full JSON content of any aws object: `{"configuration":{ <describe_resource_output> }, "supplementary_configuration": { <supplementary_resource_configuration> }}`
`aws.properties.version`	string	experimental Display name: `AWS properties version` The aws.object json content version	`1.0`
`aws.region`	string	resource stable Display name: `AWS region` A specific geographical AWS Cloud location. Tags: `primary-field`	`us-east-1`
`aws.account.id`	string	resource stable Display name: `AWS account ID` The 12-digit number, such as 123456789012, that uniquely identifies an AWS account. Tags: `permission` `primary-field`	`123456789012`
`aws.service`	string	resource experimental Display name: `AWS service` The service that identifies the AWS product.	`s3`
`aws.resource.type`	string	resource experimental Display name: `AWS resource type` The name of a resource type in CloudFormation format.	`AWS::EC2::Instance`; `AWS::S3::Bucket`; `AWS::Lambda::Function`
`aws.resource.id`	string	resource stable Display name: `AWS resource ID` Unique, immutable identifier assigned to the AWS cloud resource.	`i-0922cda4579db3a45`
`aws.resource.name`	string	resource stable Display name: `AWS resource name` Name of the resource for named resources, value of the "Name" tag in AWS for non-named resources (if unavailable, same as aws.resource.id).	`my-ec2-instance`
`aws.arn`	string	resource stable Display name: `AWS ARN` Amazon Resource Name (ARN).	`arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:478983378254:function:acceptanceWeatherBackend`
`cloud.provider`	string	resource stable Display name: `Cloud provider` Name of the cloud provider.	`alibaba_cloud`
