L1 ConstructAWS::Lambda::EventSourceMapping

CfnEventSourceMapping

The `AWS::Lambda::EventSourceMapping` resource creates a mapping between an event source and an AWS Lambda function. Lambda reads items from the event source and triggers the function. For details about each event source type, see the following topics. In particular, each of the topics describes the required and optional parameters for the specific event source. - [Configuring a Dynamo DB stream as an event source](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-ddb.html#services-dynamodb-eventsourcemapping) - [Configuring a Kinesis stream as an event source](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-kinesis.html#services-kinesis-eventsourcemapping) - [Configuring an SQS queue as an event source](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-sqs.html#events-sqs-eventsource) - [Configuring an MQ broker as an event source](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-mq.html#services-mq-eventsourcemapping) - [Configuring MSK as an event source](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-msk.html) - [Configuring Self-Managed Apache Kafka as an event source](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/kafka-smaa.html) - [Configuring Amazon DocumentDB as an event source](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-documentdb.html)

Import

import { CfnEventSourceMapping } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-lambda';

Properties

Configuration passed to the constructor as CfnEventSourceMappingProps.

functionNameRequired
string | IFunctionRef | IVersionRef

The name or ARN of the Lambda function. **Name formats** - *Function name* – `MyFunction` . - *Function ARN* – `arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:MyFunction` . - *Version or Alias ARN* – `arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:MyFunction:PROD` . - *Partial ARN* – `123456789012:function:MyFunction` . The length constraint applies only to the full ARN. If you specify only the function name, it's limited to 64 characters in length.

amazonManagedKafkaEventSourceConfigOptional
IResolvable | AmazonManagedKafkaEventSourceConfigProperty

Specific configuration settings for an Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) event source.

batchSizeOptional
number

The maximum number of records in each batch that Lambda pulls from your stream or queue and sends to your function. Lambda passes all of the records in the batch to the function in a single call, up to the payload limit for synchronous invocation (6 MB). - *Amazon Kinesis* – Default 100. Max 10,000. - *Amazon DynamoDB Streams* – Default 100. Max 10,000. - *Amazon Simple Queue Service* – Default 10. For standard queues the max is 10,000. For FIFO queues the max is 10. - *Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka* – Default 100. Max 10,000. - *Self-managed Apache Kafka* – Default 100. Max 10,000. - *Amazon MQ (ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ)* – Default 100. Max 10,000. - *DocumentDB* – Default 100. Max 10,000.

bisectBatchOnFunctionErrorOptional
boolean | IResolvable

(Kinesis and DynamoDB Streams only) If the function returns an error, split the batch in two and retry. The default value is false. > When using `BisectBatchOnFunctionError` , check the `BatchSize` parameter in the `OnFailure` destination message's metadata. The `BatchSize` could be greater than 1 since Lambda consolidates failed messages metadata when writing to the `OnFailure` destination.

destinationConfigOptional
IResolvable | DestinationConfigProperty

(Kinesis, DynamoDB Streams, Amazon MSK, and self-managed Apache Kafka) A configuration object that specifies the destination of an event after Lambda processes it.

documentDbEventSourceConfigOptional
IResolvable | DocumentDBEventSourceConfigProperty

Specific configuration settings for a DocumentDB event source.

enabledOptional
boolean | IResolvable

When true, the event source mapping is active. When false, Lambda pauses polling and invocation. Default: True

eventSourceArnOptional
string | IStreamRef | IClusterRef | IQueueRef

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the event source. - *Amazon Kinesis* – The ARN of the data stream or a stream consumer. - *Amazon DynamoDB Streams* – The ARN of the stream. - *Amazon Simple Queue Service* – The ARN of the queue. - *Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka* – The ARN of the cluster or the ARN of the VPC connection (for [cross-account event source mappings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-msk.html#msk-multi-vpc) ). - *Amazon MQ* – The ARN of the broker. - *Amazon DocumentDB* – The ARN of the DocumentDB change stream.

filterCriteriaOptional
IResolvable | FilterCriteriaProperty

An object that defines the filter criteria that determine whether Lambda should process an event. For more information, see [Lambda event filtering](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/invocation-eventfiltering.html) .

functionResponseTypesOptional
string[]

(Kinesis, DynamoDB Streams, and SQS) A list of current response type enums applied to the event source mapping. Valid Values: `ReportBatchItemFailures`

kmsKeyArnOptional
string

The ARN of the AWS Key Management Service ( AWS ) customer managed key that Lambda uses to encrypt your function's [filter criteria](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/invocation-eventfiltering.html#filtering-basics) .

loggingConfigOptional
IResolvable | LoggingConfigProperty

The function's Amazon CloudWatch Logs configuration settings.

maximumBatchingWindowInSecondsOptional
number

The maximum amount of time, in seconds, that Lambda spends gathering records before invoking the function. *Default ( Kinesis , DynamoDB , Amazon SQS event sources)* : 0 *Default ( Amazon MSK , Kafka, Amazon MQ , Amazon DocumentDB event sources)* : 500 ms *Related setting:* For Amazon SQS event sources, when you set `BatchSize` to a value greater than 10, you must set `MaximumBatchingWindowInSeconds` to at least 1.

maximumRecordAgeInSecondsOptional
number

(Kinesis, DynamoDB Streams, Amazon MSK, and self-managed Apache Kafka) Discard records older than the specified age. The default value is -1, which sets the maximum age to infinite. When the value is set to infinite, Lambda never discards old records. > The minimum valid value for maximum record age is 60s. Although values less than 60 and greater than -1 fall within the parameter's absolute range, they are not allowed

maximumRetryAttemptsOptional
number

(Kinesis, DynamoDB Streams, Amazon MSK, and self-managed Apache Kafka) Discard records after the specified number of retries. The default value is -1, which sets the maximum number of retries to infinite. When MaximumRetryAttempts is infinite, Lambda retries failed records until the record expires in the event source.

metricsConfigOptional
IResolvable | MetricsConfigProperty

The metrics configuration for your event source. For more information, see [Event source mapping metrics](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/monitoring-metrics-types.html#event-source-mapping-metrics) .

parallelizationFactorOptional
number

(Kinesis and DynamoDB Streams only) The number of batches to process concurrently from each shard. The default value is 1.

provisionedPollerConfigOptional
IResolvable | ProvisionedPollerConfigProperty

The self-managed Apache Kafka cluster for your event source.

selfManagedKafkaEventSourceConfigOptional
IResolvable | SelfManagedKafkaEventSourceConfigProperty

Specific configuration settings for a self-managed Apache Kafka event source.

sourceAccessConfigurationsOptional
IResolvable | IResolvable | SourceAccessConfigurationProperty[]

An array of the authentication protocol, VPC components, or virtual host to secure and define your event source.

string

The position in a stream from which to start reading. Required for Amazon Kinesis and Amazon DynamoDB. - *LATEST* - Read only new records. - *TRIM_HORIZON* - Process all available records. - *AT_TIMESTAMP* - Specify a time from which to start reading records.

startingPositionTimestampOptional
number

With `StartingPosition` set to `AT_TIMESTAMP` , the time from which to start reading, in Unix time seconds. `StartingPositionTimestamp` cannot be in the future.

tagsOptional
CfnTag[]

A list of tags to add to the event source mapping. > You must have the `lambda:TagResource` , `lambda:UntagResource` , and `lambda:ListTags` permissions for your [IAM principal](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_terms-and-concepts.html) to manage the CloudFormation stack. If you don't have these permissions, there might be unexpected behavior with stack-level tags propagating to the resource during resource creation and update.

topicsOptional
string[]

The name of the Kafka topic.

tumblingWindowInSecondsOptional
number

(Kinesis and DynamoDB Streams only) The duration in seconds of a processing window for DynamoDB and Kinesis Streams event sources. A value of 0 seconds indicates no tumbling window.
