I have a Java 7 "agent" program running on several client machines (mostly Windows XP). My "agent" uploads client files to Amazon S3 and often I get this error:
RequestTimeTooSkewed
I know this is because the client's computer system time difference is too large compared to Amazon's. Here's my problem: I can't control the client's computer (system) time! So, I don't want Amazon to care about time differences.
I heard about jets3t, but I'm hoping not having to resort to yet another tool (agent footprint must remain small).
Any ideas how to remove this check and get rid of this pesky error?
Error detail:
Status Code: 403, AWS Service: Amazon S3, AWS Request ID: 59C9614D15006F23, AWS Error Code: RequestTimeTooSkewed, AWS Error Message: The difference between the request time and the current time is too large., S3 Extended Request ID: v1pGBm3ed2J9dZ3sG/3aDrG3DUGSlt3Ac+9nduK2slih2wyaAnc1n5Jrt5TkRzlV
The error is coming from the S3 service, not from the client, so there really isn't anything you can do other than correct the clock on the client. That check is being done on the service to help detect and prevent replay attacks so it's an important part of the overall security of the service.
Trying a different client-side SDK won't help.

I'm using AWS Media Tailor to test an ad inserting demo. The demo page is this one: https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-media-services-simple-vod-workflow/tree/master/12-AdMarkerInsertion.
When I place my manifest into a TheoPlayer I always get an 504 error. My manifes page is: https://ebf348c58b834d189af82777f4f742a6.mediatailor.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/v1/master/3c879a81c14534e13d0b39aac4479d6d57e7c462/MyTestCampaign/llama.m3u8.
I have also tried with: https://ebf348c58b834d189af82777f4f742a6.mediatailor.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/v1/master/3c879a81c14534e13d0b39aac4479d6d57e7c462/MyTestCampaign/llama_with_slates.m3u8.
The specific error is:
{"message":"failed to generate manifest: Unable to obtain template playlist. sessionId:[c915d529-3527-4e37-89e0-087e393e75de]"}
I have read about this error: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediatailor/latest/ug/playback-errors-examples.html
But don't know how to fix it.
Maybe I did something wrong or do I need a quote in AWS?
Any idea?
Thanks for the inquiry!
The following example shows the result when a timeout occurs between AWS Elemental MediaTailor and either the ad decision server (ADS) or the origin server.
An HTTP 504 error is known as a Gateway Timeout meaning that a resource was unresponsive and prevented the request from completing successfully. In this case since MediaTailor is returning an HTTP 504 this means that either the ADS or Origin failed to respond within the timeout period.
To troubleshoot this you will need to determine which dependency is failing to respond to MediaTailor and correct it. Typically the issue is the ADS failing to respond to a VAST request performed by MediaTailor which you can confirm by reviewing your CloudWatch logs.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediatailor/latest/ug/monitor-cloudwatch-ads-logs.html
Make sure that your ADS follows the guidelines listed below for integrating with MediaTailor.

I want to change the default failure message in Alexa, Sorry, I'm having trouble accessing your {} skill right now.
You cannot change that prompt but you can code to avoid that as much as possible. The error happens when Alexa is not able to get a valid response from your skill endpoint. There can be multiple reasons to that as mentioned here
1. Your endpoint is giving an invalid response
This can be due to the errors/exceptions happening in your endpoint code. You can make sure that error/exceptions don't occur and if they occur, thre is code to catch them and provide a valid response back to Alexa, with an error message of your choice.
2. Your endpoint availability
Make sure that your endpoints are available all the time if you have configured them as an endpoint. This is pretty much guaranteed if you are using Lambda endpoints. But if you are your own hosted web service endpoint, then you must put in all the measures to keep it available for Alexa to communicate with it.
3. Your endpoint response time
Make sure that your endpoint gives back the response within the time period that Alexa expects it to get(guess its 10 seconds). Also make sure if you are using Lambda functions, you have configured them with reasonable execution time to avoid timeout errors.
If you cover the exception/error/availability scenarios well then you can avoid the default error message as much as possible.
We have 2 React Native app are using AWS Cognito for authentication. We use library react-native-aws-cognito-js in our code. The apps are working fine until these 2 days. Apps are experiencing intermittent "Internal Server Error".
How can I find more information about this error? Any tool can help us pinpoint the cause?
Update
From CloudTrail, each API call has an event "CreateNetworkInterface". Many of such API calls have error code "Client.NetworkInterfaceLimitExceeded". What is the cause and solution to this?
According to this AWS Doc (in Chinese), CloudWatch will not write to log when error is due to insufficient IP/ENI. That explains the increase in error number but no logs in CloudWatch.
Upate 2
We have found a scheduled Lambda job which may exhausted IP addresses. We stopped the batch job. But still can't have too many user login to server due to "Client.NetworkInterfaceLimitExceeded" error. I realized that there are many "CreateNetworkInterface" event and few "DeleteNetworkInterface" event. How can I "clean up / reset" all network interface in VPC?
Short answer: Cloud Trail.
Long answer with a suggestion
Assuming your application code is fine, most likely the cause of your 500 error is based on Cognito's initial limitations (e.g., number of calls per user): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/limits.html.
AWS suggests to use Cloud Trail, for logging Api calls.
However I would suggest, to prove the limitations first, add some logs around the api call yourself, and in development you could call your app/api with a high number of calls; and most likely you will see the 500 error due to the limitations.
You could do the following in the terminal:
for i in `seq 1 1000`; do curl --cookie SecureCookie=TokenValueFromAWS http://localhost:desirablePort/SecuredPath; done
Our application will depend upon uploads of fairly large files to an S3 Bucket via 3rd party apps like S3CMD (command line) and S3 Browser free version (GUI) for Windows from many locations around the world -- some with very shaky and slow internet connections. It is highly likely that packets may get lost and internet may cut out unexpectedly.
The S3 Bucket will be configured to send notifications to an SNS Topic which will forward the message to our application rest endpoint, using an XML file inside the notifications subresource, following the instructions in the Documentation here:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/NotificationHowTo.html
1) Is there any remote chance that a failed or incomplete upload will be reported as complete?
The notifications that can be sent to SNS seem to be fairly limited and there appears to be no method for conveying errors. The error notification documentation for S3 seems to be directed at someone implementing and handling their own upload mechanisms.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/ErrorResponses.html
2) Am I correct that there is no way to setup forwarding such error messages to SNS?
The SDKs provide their own mechanisms for catching errors when an upload fails.
A failed upload (access denied, content-length mismatch, connection timeout, content-md5 mismatch, multipart never completed nor aborted, or any other reason) will not trigger a notification. There's not a way to generate events from failed uploads -- S3 wouldn't necessarily even be aware of the failure, depending on the cause of the failure.
after running AWS Elastic Beanstalk application for few weeks suddenly I can't open my application. Page simply displays an error which doesn't provide much information how to fix it.
Error
A problem occurred while loading your page: AWS Query failed to deserialize response
(and there is no more information, Googling also haven't found any answer)
So before updating my subscription and starting paying to Amazon not insignificant amount of money for being able to contact their technical support I thought I will ask here first if someone here encountered this issue.
Thanks for any suggestions.
After receiving this generic error, I was able to dig into the actual error message by using the EB CLI. In my case the CLI threw "ZIP does not support timestamps before 1980".
