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.

To find out the unique ID or name of a registry, get a list of registries in the folder.

Getting a list of registries in a folder

  1. In the management console, select the folder where you want to get a list of registries.
  2. Navigate to IoT Core.
  3. The Registries page will show the list of registries.

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.

  1. See the description of the CLI command for getting a list of registries:

    yc iot registry list --help

  2. Get a list of registries in the default folder:

    yc iot registry list

    Result:

    +----------------------+-------------+
|          ID          |    NAME     |
+----------------------+-------------+
| b91ki3851hab******** | my-registry |
+----------------------+-------------+

To get a list of registries, use the list REST API method for the Registry resource or the RegistryService/List gRPC API call.

Getting detailed information about a registry

To access a registry, use the unique ID or name of the registry from the previous step.

  1. In the management console, select the folder containing the registry.
  2. Navigate to IoT Core.
  3. Select the registry.
  4. The Overview page will show the registry details.

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.

  1. See the description of the CLI command for getting information about a registry:

    yc iot registry get --help

  2. Get detailed information about a registry by specifying its name or ID:

    yc iot registry get <registry_name>

    Result:

    id: b91ki3851hab********
folder_id: aoek49ghmknn********
created_at: "2019-05-28T11:29:42.420Z"
name: my-registry

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 guides 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 get detailed information about a registry using Terraform:

  1. Add the data and output sections to the Terraform configuration file:

    data "yandex_iot_core_registry" "my_registry" {
  registry_id = "<registry_ID>"
}

output "registry_params" {
  value = data.yandex_iot_core_registry.my_registry.created_at
}

    Where:

    • data "yandex_iot_core_registry": Description of the registry as a data source:
      • registry_id: Registry ID.
    • output "registry_params": Output variable that contains information about the registry creation timestamp:
      • value: Return value.

    You can replace created_at with any other attribute to get the information you need. For more information about the yandex_iot_core_registry data source properties, see this provider guide.

  2. Create the resources:

    1. In the terminal, navigate to the configuration file directory.

    2. Make sure the configuration is correct using this command:

      terraform validate

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

      Success! The configuration is valid.

    3. 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.

    4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply

    5. Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.

    Terraform will create all required resources and display their output variables. To check the results, run this command:

    terraform output

    Result:

    registry_params = "2024-05-08T06:40:52Z"

To get detailed information about a registry, use the get REST API method for the Registry resource or the RegistryService/Get gRPC API call.
