AWS Iot Rule not getting triggered using MQTT browser client - amazon-web-services

I have a SNS topic and subscriber set up like so :
The subscribers are correctly notified when the Topic is tested via "Publish to Topic" from AWS console
I have a IoT rule like so :
I have a policy attached to the rule like so :
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": {
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "sns:Publish",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:ap-southeast-xxxxxx:MySNSTopic"
}
}
Yet when I try and test from the MQTT browser client, the notification is not fired
What am I missing?

Started working after a few minutes. Guess it needs some time to set up

How do I publish/Subscribe AWS IoT - server side using Java SDK

I'm really new with AWS and IoT, and my goal is to:
Use the Java SDK v.2 from my serverless application to create/get/update/attach/... certificates and things.
Create client side MQTT demo application to connect publish and subscribe to messages used by my new certificates and thing created in phase 1.
Publish/subscribe messages in the server side in order to talk to my things/clients.
1 & 2 I've managed to do perfectly.
But I don't understand how should I do the 3rd one.
Should I use the IoT device SDK as well in the server side ? If so with what credentials do I connect ?
Is there some objects in the SDK that I've missed?
In order to connect to IoT Core from the server I first configure my SSO connection using the AWSCLI and in the code I simply use my profile name and region to connect.
Your serverless Java application needs to be configured as a "Thing" in the same account/region as your IoT devices. In the console, go to
AWS IoT -> Manage -> Things
and create a thing for your app. In this case you shouldn't need a "Device Shadow", and you can select "Auto Generate Certificates".
For the IoT Policy, you will need the following :
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "iot:Connect",
"Resource": "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID:client/*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "iot:Subscribe",
"Resource": "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID:topicfilter/*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "iot:Receive",
"Resource": "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID:topic/*"
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "iot:Publish",
"Resource": "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:YOUR_AWS_ACCOUNT_ID:topic/*"
}
]
}
Your application will communicate with IoTCore using the endpoint shown in the Settings screen in IoTCore for the region where you have created your thing. Your application will authenticate using the key/cert you downloaded when creating the thing (username/password auth is not allowed).
Once your application connects to the endpoint, you will want to "subscribe" to the same topic your devices use to send messages. You can also publish to one or more topics.
In order to debug communications, you can use the MQTT client in the AWS IoTCore console, just note the console needs to be refreshed periodically when communication times out. I recommend marking your topics as favorites so they are easy to re-subscribe to on a refresh.
As for coding in Java, you should be able to leverage examples from the AWS IoT Device SDK here :
https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-java-v2/tree/main/samples
Here's a link to the MQTT client class :
http://aws-iot-device-sdk-java-docs.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/com/amazonaws/services/iot/client/AWSIotMqttClient.html
Please note that your app will not have access to messages when not in use. There are a few strategies to deal with message persistence, but that's outside the scope of your question, so I won't cover it here.
Hopefully this gets you pointed in the right direction.

CodeCommit Notification does not send event to SNS

I set up Notification in CodeCommit on all events. The rule target SNS topic has a policy that allows principal *. However when I created a pull request. There is no event went through my SNS topic. I have a email subscription to the topic.
What have I missed and what is the possible causes?
I was having the same problem.
The solution is to give permission in SNS to receive notifications from CodeCommit. To do so you need to edit the SNS "Access policy" and add the following rule:
{
"Sid": "AWSCodeStarNotifications_publish",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": [
"codestar-notifications.amazonaws.com"
]
},
"Action": "SNS:Publish",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:codestar-notifications-MyTopicForNotificationRules"
}
Just make sure to edit the Resource property first.

boto3 iot-data published messages not receiving

Im trying to publish a message via a python Lambda function to AWS IoT.
I've subscribed to a topic ('test') on the IoT console and triggered the function and the messages aren't getting delivered.
Python Code Snippet:
iot = boto3.client('iot-data','eu-west-1') res = {
"message" : "Hello!"
}
iot.publish(
topic='test', //do we need to pass the thing name here?
qos=0,
payload=json.dumps(res))
IoT policy:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "iot:*",
"Resource": "*"
} ] }
Also, I have allocated the the correct IAM privileges to the lambda function to publish to IoT.
Any help to pint me at the right direction much appreciated.
Figured this one out, my lambda function is deployed within a VPC subnet without a internet connection. Created a NAT gateway and now the subnet getting internet access through it.
P.S- To publish messages to IoT (MQTT) needs an internet connection.

cloud watch event invocation failed to call sns topic

I am a beginner to AWS CloudWatch. The event is not getting triggered when I use AWS java SDK to create CloudWatch event rules, and using sns topic as a target.
It's working fine when created using Direct AWS management console.
Everything remains the same when comparing java sdk creation and management console creation.
The only difference is in aws management console rules invoke, two metrics are created(invocation, TriggeredRules), in java sdk rules invoke, three metrics are created(invocation, TriggeredRules,FailedInvocation).
If you use a custom KMS key on your SNS Topic, you need also add the following policy to your KMS key policy:
{
"Sid": "CloudwatchEvents",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "events.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": [
"kms:Encrypt*",
"kms:Decrypt*",
"kms:ReEncrypt*",
"kms:GenerateDataKey*",
"kms:Describe*"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
If you find that it works when created via the console but not if you do it with the API (or something like Terraform) then it is likely that you are not updating the SNS Topic Policy so that it allows events to be published from CloudWatch Events. The console does this for you semi-magically but if you use the APIs you have a bit more work to do.
There is an answer here in the FAQ with the details but the long and short of it is you need to add (not replace) something like this to your SNS Topic Policy:
{
"Sid" : "CloudWatchEvents",
"Effect" : "Allow",
"Resource" : "${aws_sns_topic.events.arn}",
"Action" : "sns:Publish",
"Principal" : {
"Service" : "events.amazonaws.com"
}
}

AWS IoT Rule engine not working

Somehow none of the AWS IoT Rule are working for me.
I published to topic, and sent SNS (as per example).
SELECT * FROM 'acme/temp'
All policy and trust policy are correct , yet it does not fire rule.
Sad part is log level is DEBUG configured yet cloud watch shows only INFO and no info to know why rules not fired.
Trust policy
{
"Version":"2012-10-17",
"Statement":[{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "iot.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
}]
Role Policy
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": {
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "sns:Publish",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:643170122694:snstopic"
}
}
Pl suggest how to troubleshoot.
I am using MQTT client inside AWS console to publish message to topic. If I subscribe then I get messages. I put my rule configuration here forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=741034&tstart=0 Can you think of any ways I can troubleshoot .. No matter what rule I write and what action I defined .. it does not fire Iot rule engine. I am using us east 1 region.
