Data Firehose Destinations

Service Name:	Data Firehose
ARN Format:	`arn:aws:logs:{region}:{account}:deliverystream/{name of firehose}`
Style:	Async (Write)
Actions (required Permissions):	`firehose:PutRecord`
Payload Format:	NDJSON, one line per packet

Proxylity's integration with Data Firehose writes packets arriving at your listener to a delivery stream of your choice. Writing packets to Firehose is a natural fit for archiving and batch processing workloads.

Things to know about using Data Firehose destinations:

The ARN for the destination must identify an existing firehose delivery stream.
The batching configuration of the destination should not produce batches larger than the maximum firehose request limit (1000 KiB).
Each batch of packets will be serialized to newline-delimited JSON and delivered to Firehose as a single message with firehose:PutMessage (not firehose:PutMessageBatch).

See Data Firehose destinations in action in our SYSLOG example, which streams log data to CloudWatch and S3 via Firehose.

This type of destination supports very high speed data ingestion. For less demanding rates, the S3 Destination type may be an alternative.
