Creating a trigger for Yandex IoT Core

Triggers is currently at the Preview stage.

Create a trigger for the device topic or Yandex IoT Core service registry, and process message copies using a function Cloud Functions.

Warning

The trigger must be in the same cloud with the registry or device it reads messages from.

Before you start

To create a trigger, you need:

  1. A service account with rights for function call. If you don't have a service account, create one.
  2. Registries or device whose topics the trigger will accept copies of messages from. If you don't have either:
  3. Functions the trigger will send messages to for processing. If you don't have a function:

Create a trigger

Create a trigger for the device topic.

Note

The trigger is initiated within 5 minutes of being created.

If you don't have the Yandex.Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

Create a trigger:

  • --name: Trigger name.
  • --registry-id: A unique registry ID.
  • --device-id: The unique device ID. If you are creating a trigger for a registry topic, you can skip this parameter.
  • --mqtt-topic: The topic you want to create a trigger for.
  • --invoke-function-id: Unique function ID.
  • --invoke-function-service-account-id: Service account with rights to call the function.

Check the results

Check the function logs to see if the function was run:

  1. The function logs should contain information about the function call. In this example, the function outputs information about the messages processed.
