Note

The broker is at the Preview stage.

You can change the name and description of a broker as well as manage broker labels.

To access a broker, use its unique ID or name. For info on how to get the unique broker ID or name, see Getting information about a broker.

Updating the name of a broker

  1. In the management console, select the folder to update the broker name in.
  2. Select IoT Core.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select Brokers.
  4. To the right of the name of the broker you need, click and select Edit from the drop-down list.
  5. Edit the Name field.
  6. Click Save.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud (CLI) command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

Update the name of a broker:

yc iot broker update my-broker --new-name test-broker

Result:

id: b91ki3851h**********
folder_id: aoek49ghmk**********
created_at: "2019-05-28T11:29:42.420Z"
name: test-broker

With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform website or mirror website.

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure its Yandex Cloud provider.

To update the name of a broker created using Terraform:

  1. Open the Terraform configuration file and edit the name parameter value in the broker description fragment.

    Example broker description in the Terraform configuration:

    resource "yandex_iot_core_broker" "my_broker" {
  name        = "test-broker"
  description = "test broker for terraform provider documentation"
  }
...
}

    For more information about the yandex_iot_core_broker resource parameters in Terraform, see the relevant provider documentation.

  2. In the command line, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.

  3. Make sure the configuration file is correct using this command:

    terraform validate

    If the configuration is correct, you will get this message:

    Success! The configuration is valid.

  4. Run this command:

    terraform plan

    You will see a detailed list of resources. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will point them out.

  5. Apply the changes:

    terraform apply

  6. Confirm the changes: type yes into the terminal and press Enter.

    You can check the updated broker name in the management console or using this CLI command:

    yc iot broker list

To rename a broker, use the update REST API method for the Broker resource or the BrokerService/Update gRPC API call.
