I am working on a click tracking project and I am using Snowplow (Open Source) for that. I am using Scala snowplow collector to collect the data and route it to Amazon Kinesis. But, when I am launching it with this configuration:
collector {
# The collector runs as a web service specified on the following interface and port.
interface = "0.0.0.0"
port = 5555
# Configure the P3P policy header.
p3p {
policyRef = "/w3c/p3p.xml"
CP = "NOI DSP COR NID PSA OUR IND COM NAV STA"
}
# Optional cross domain policy configuration.
# To disable, remove the "crossDomain" configuration and the collector will respond with a 404 to
# the /crossdomain.xml route.
crossDomain {
# Domain that is granted access, *.acme.com will match http://acme.com and http://sub.acme.com
domain = "*"
# Whether to only grant access to HTTPS or both HTTPS and HTTP sources
secure = true
}
# The collector returns a cookie to clients for user identification
# with the following domain and expiration.
cookie {
enabled = true
expiration = 365 days
# Network cookie name
name = sp
# The domain is optional and will make the cookie accessible to other
# applications on the domain. Comment out this line to tie cookies to
# the collector's full domain
#domain = "{{cookieDomain}}"
}
# When enabled and the cookie specified above is missing, performs a redirect to itself to check
# if third-party cookies are blocked using the specified name. If they are indeed blocked,
# fallbackNetworkId is used instead of generating a new random one.
cookieBounce {
enabled = false
# The name of the request parameter which will be used on redirects checking that third-party
# cookies work.
name = "n3pc"
# Network user id to fallback to when third-party cookies are blocked.
fallbackNetworkUserId = "00000000-0000-4000-A000-000000000000"
# Optionally, specify the name of the header containing the originating protocol for use in the
# bounce redirect location. Use this if behind a load balancer that performs SSL termination.
# The value of this header must be http or https. Example, if behind an AWS Classic ELB.
forwardedProtocolHeader = "X-Forwarded-Proto"
}
# When enabled, the redirect url passed via the `u` query parameter is scanned for a placeholder
# token. All instances of that token are replaced withe the network ID. If the placeholder isn't
# specified, the default value is `${SP_NUID}`.
redirectMacro {
enabled = false
# Optional custom placeholder token (defaults to the literal `${SP_NUID}`)
placeholder = "[TOKEN]"
}
streams {
# Events which have successfully been collected will be stored in the good stream/topic
good = pockinesisfirehose
# Events that are too big (w.r.t Kinesis 1MB limit) will be stored in the bad stream/topic
bad = pockinesisfirehosee
# Whether to use the incoming event's ip as the partition key for the good stream/topic
# Note: Nsq does not make use of partition key.
useIpAddressAsPartitionKey = false
# Enable the chosen sink by uncommenting the appropriate configuration
sink {
# Choose between kinesis, kafka, nsq, or stdout.
# To use stdout, comment or remove everything in the "collector.streams.sink" section except
# "enabled" which should be set to "stdout".
enabled = kinesis
# enabled = stdout
# Region where the streams are located
region = us-east-1
# Thread pool size for Kinesis API requests
threadPoolSize = 10
# The following are used to authenticate for the Amazon Kinesis sink.
# If both are set to 'default', the default provider chain is used
# (see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaSDK/latest/javadoc/com/amazonaws/auth/DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain.html)
# If both are set to 'iam', use AWS IAM Roles to provision credentials.
# If both are set to 'env', use environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
aws {
accessKey = env
secretKey = env
}
# Minimum and maximum backoff periods
backoffPolicy {
minBackoff = 1000
maxBackoff = 5000
}
# Or Kafka
#brokers = "{{kafkaBrokers}}"
## Number of retries to perform before giving up on sending a record
#retries = 0
# Or NSQ
## Host name for nsqd
#host = "{{nsqHost}}"
## TCP port for nsqd, 4150 by default
#port = {{nsqdPort}}
}
# Incoming events are stored in a buffer before being sent to Kinesis/Kafka.
# Note: Buffering is not supported by NSQ.
# The buffer is emptied whenever:
# - the number of stored records reaches record-limit or
# - the combined size of the stored records reaches byte-limit or
# - the time in milliseconds since the buffer was last emptied reaches time-limit
buffer {
byteLimit = 1024
recordLimit = 10 # Not supported by Kafka; will be ignored
timeLimit = 250
}
}
}
# Akka has a variety of possible configuration options defined at
# http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/scala/general/configuration.html
akka {
loglevel = OFF # 'OFF' for no logging, 'DEBUG' for all logging.
#loggers = ["akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLogger"]
loggers = []
# akka-http is the server the Stream collector uses and has configurable options defined at
# http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-http/current/scala/http/configuration.html
http.server {
# To obtain the hostname in the collector, the 'remote-address' header
# should be set. By default, this is disabled, and enabling it
# adds the 'Remote-Address' header to every request automatically.
remote-address-header = on
raw-request-uri-header = on
# Define the maximum request length (the default is 2048)
parsing {
max-uri-length = 32768
uri-parsing-mode = relaxed
}
}
}
It's giving out an error:

I am specifying all the parameters correctly, the kinesis stream name, AWS region, etc but not able to connect to my stream. What might I be doing wrong?
Based on the name of your variable, "pockinesisfirehose", it looks like you may be using Kinesis Firehose, not a regular Kinesis Stream. A regular Kinesis Stream is needed for this collector. Kinesis Firehose will take the data coming into the Kinesis Stream, and put it into another Amazon service (S3, Redshift, etc.)
