ALIYUN::IOT::RuleAction is used to create a rule action for a specified rule.

Syntax

  "Type": "ALIYUN::IOT::RuleAction",
  "Properties": {
    "ErrorActionFlag": Boolean,
    "Type": String,
    "IotInstanceId": String,
    "Configuration": String,

  }
}

Properties

Property Type Required Editable Description Constraint
ErrorActionFlag Boolean No No Specifies whether the rule action forwards error operation data. Error operation data is generated when the rules engine failed to forward data from the IoT Platform (IOT) topic to the destination cloud service. A data forwarding failure indicates that forwarding retries also fail. Default value: false. Valid values:
  • true: The rule action forwards error operation data.
  • false: The rule action does not forward error operation data.
Type String Yes Yes The type of the rule action. If the data type of the rules is the binary data format or the DataTypeparameter is set to BINARY, the rule does not support forwarding data to Tablestore (OTS). Valid values:
  • REPUBLISH: forwards data that is processed by the rules engine to an IoT topic.
  • AMQP: forwards data to an Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) consumer group.
  • DATAHUB: forwards data that is processed by the rules engine to DataHub for stream computing.
  • ONS: forwards data that is processed by the rules engine to Message Queue for Apache RocketMQ for message distribution.
  • MNS: forwards data that is processed by the rules engine to Message Service (MNS).
  • FC: forwards data that is processed by the rules engine to Function Compute for event computing.
  • OTS: forwards data that is processed by the rules engine to OTS for NoSQL data storage.
IotInstanceId String No No The ID of the instance. This parameter is required for public and Enterprise Edition instances.
Configuration String Yes Yes The configurations of the rule action. You must specify a JSON string. The configurations vary based on rule action types. For more information, see CreateRuleAction.
RuleId Integer Yes No The ID of the rule for which you want to create an action. None

Response parameters

Fn::GetAtt

ActionId: the ID of the action.

YAML format 

ROSTemplateFormatVersion: '2015-09-01'
Parameters:
  ErrorActionFlag:
    Type: Boolean
    Description: >-
      Indicates whether the rule action forwarded error operation data. Error
      operation

      data indicates that the rule engine failed to forward data from the IoT
      Platform topic

      to the destination cloud service. A data forwarding failure indicates that
      forwarding

      retries also failed. Valid values:

      true: forwards error operation data.

      false: forwards normal data instead of error operation data.

      Default value: false.
    AllowedValues:
      - 'True'
      - 'true'
      - 'False'
      - 'false'
  Type:
    Type: String
    Description: >-
      The type of the rule action. Valid values:

      MNS: forwards data in the topics that have been processed by the rule
      engine to Message

      Service (MNS) for message transmission.

      FC: forwards data in the topics that have been processed by the rule
      engine to Function

      Compute for event computing.

      REPUBLISH: forwards data in the topics that have been processed by the
      rule engine to another

      IoT Platform topic.

      AMQP: forwards data to AMQP consumer groups.

      OTS: forwards data in the topics that have been processed by the rule
      engine to Table

      Store for NoSQL data storage.

      Note

      Rules of the binary data format (the DataType parameter is set toBINARY)
      do not support forwarding data to Table Store.

      Destination Alibaba Cloud services that are supported by the rule engine
      vary based

      on regions. For more information about the regions and destination cloud
      services

      that are supported by the rule engine, see Regions and zones.
    AllowedValues:
      - AMQP
      - DATAHUB
      - FC
      - MNS
      - ONS
      - OTS
      - REPUBLISH
  Configuration:

      about required

      syntax and examples, see the following tables.
  IotInstanceId:
    Type: String
    Description: >-
      The ID of the instance. This parameter is not required for public
      instances. However,

      the parameter is required for the instances that you have purchased.
  RuleId:
    Type: Number
    Description: >-
      The ID of the rule for which you want to create an action. You can use
