Updating a broker

Written by
Updated at June 18, 2026

Warning

Yandex IoT Core is no longer available to new users.

Current users can create resources until November 1, 2026. Afterwards, the service will go read-only and cease to operate on December 1, 2026. For more information on the timing and procedure, see Service shutdown.

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. Navigate to 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 yet, install and initialize it.

The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

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 relevant documentation on the Terraform website or its mirror.

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

To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), authenticate using the appropriate method.

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 yandex_iot_core_broker properties, see this Terraform provider guide.

  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 valid, you will get this message:

    Success! The configuration is valid.

  4. Run this command:

    terraform plan

    You will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.

  5. Apply the configuration 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.

Updating the description of a broker

To update the broker description:

  1. In the management console, select the folder to update the broker description in.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

Update the broker description:

yc iot broker update my-broker --description "My test broker."
