API
  1. In the management console, select the folder where you want to create a connector.

  2. Select Serverless Integrations.

  3. In the left-hand panel, click EventRouter.

  4. Select the bus you need.

  5. Navigate to the Connectors tab.

  6. In the top-right corner, click Create connector.

  7. In the Source field, select Yandex Message Queue.

  8. Under Message Queue settings:

    • Select a folder and a message queue.
    • Select a service account with permissions to read from the message queue.
  9. Optionally, click Batch message settings and specify:

    • Visibility timeout, s: Time period in seconds during which messages are hidden from the queue after one of the recipients has received a message. Valid values ​​range from 0 to 43,200 seconds. The default value is 43,200 seconds.

    • Batch size: Maximum number of messages EventRouter groups together before sending from the source to the rule. Valid values ​​range from 0 to 10. The default value is 10.

    • Polling timeout, ms: Maximum time in milliseconds EventRouter takes to group messages before sending them from the source to the rule. Valid values ​​range from 0 to 20,000 milliseconds. The default value is 10,000 milliseconds.

      The connector groups messages for a period not exceeding the specified survey timeout and sends these to a rule. At the same time, the number of messages does not exceed the specified group size.

  10. Expand Additional parameters:

    • Enter a name and description for the connector. The naming requirements are as follows:

      • The name must be from 3 to 63 characters long.
      • It may contain uppercase and lowercase Latin and Cyrillic letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, and spaces.
      • The first character must be a letter. The last character cannot be a hyphen, underscore, or space.
    • Optionally, add labels:

      • Click Add label.
      • Enter a label in key: value format.
      • Press Enter.
    • Optionally, enable deletion protection. You cannot delete a connector with this option enabled.

  11. Click Create.

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

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. View the description of the CLI command to create a connector:

    yc serverless eventrouter connector create message-queue --help
    
  2. Create a connector for Message Queue:

    yc serverless eventrouter connector create message-queue \
      --bus-id <bus_ID> \
      --queue-arn <queue_ARN> \
      --service-account-id <service_account_ID> \
      --visibility-timeout <visibility_timeout> \
      --batch-size <batch_size> \
      --polling-timeout <poll_timeout> \
      --name <connector_name> \
      --description "<connector_description>" \
      --labels <label_list> \
      --deletion-protection
    

    Where:

    • --bus-id: EventRouter bus ID.

    • --queue-arn: Yandex Message Queue queue ARN.

    • --service-account-id: ID of the service account with permissions to read from the message queue.

    • --visibility-timeout: Time period during which messages are hidden from the queue after one of the recipients has accepted a message. Valid values ​​range from 0 to 43,200 seconds. The default value is 43,200 seconds. This is an optional parameter.

    • --batch-size: Maximum number of messages EventRouter groups together before sending from the source to the rule. Valid values ​​range from 0 to 10. The default value is 10. This is an optional parameter.

    • --polling-timeout: Maximum time during which EventRouter is grouping messages before sending them from the source to the rule. Valid values ​​range from 0 to 20,000 milliseconds. The default value is 10,000 milliseconds. This is an optional parameter.

      The connector groups messages for a period not exceeding the specified survey timeout and sends these to a rule. At the same time, the number of messages does not exceed the specified group size.

    • --name: Connector name. Follow these naming requirements:

      • The name must be from 3 to 63 characters long.
      • It may contain uppercase and lowercase Latin and Cyrillic letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, and spaces.
      • The first character must be a letter. The last character cannot be a hyphen, underscore, or space.
    • --description: Connector description. This is an optional parameter.

    • --labels: List of labels. This is an optional parameter.

      You can specify one or more labels separated by commas in <key1>=<value1>,<key2>=<value2> format.

    • --deletion-protection: Connector deletion protection. By default, protection is disabled. You cannot delete a connector with this option enabled. To disable deletion protection, specify --no-deletion-protection. This is an optional parameter.

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 create a connector for Message Queue:

  1. In the configuration file, describe the properties of resources you want to create:

    resource "yandex_serverless_eventrouter_connector" "example_connector" {
      bus_id              = "<bus_ID>"
      name                = "<connector_name>"
      description         = "<connector_description>"
      deletion_protection = <true|false>
    
      labels = {
        <key_1> = "<value_1>"
        <key_2> = "<value_2>"
        ...
        <key_n> = "<value_n>"
      }
    
      ymq {
        queue_arn          = "<queue_ARN>"
        service_account_id = "<service_account_ID>"
        visibility_timeout = "1m"
        batch_size         = "3"
        polling_timeout    = "100ms"
      }
    }
    

    Where:

    • bus_id: EventRouter bus ID.

    • name: Connector name. Follow these naming requirements:

      • The name must be from 3 to 63 characters long.
      • It may contain uppercase and lowercase Latin and Cyrillic letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, and spaces.
      • The first character must be a letter. The last character cannot be a hyphen, underscore, or space.
    • description: Connector description. This is an optional parameter.

    • deletion_protection: Connector deletion protection, true or false. You cannot delete a connector with this option enabled. This is an optional parameter.

    • labels: List of labels. Provide labels in <key> = "<value>" format. This is an optional parameter.

    • queue_arn: Queue ARN of Yandex Message Queue.

    • service-account-id: ID of the service account with permissions to read from the message queue.

    • visibility_timeout: Time period during which messages are hidden from the queue after one of the recipients has accepted a message. Valid values ​​range from 0 to 43,200 seconds. The default value is 43,200 seconds. This is an optional parameter.

    • batch_size: Maximum number of messages EventRouter groups together before sending from the source to the rule. Valid values ​​range from 0 to 10. The default value is 10. This is an optional parameter.

    • polling_timeout: Maximum time during which EventRouter is grouping messages before sending them from the source to the rule. Valid values ​​range from 0 to 20,000 milliseconds. The default value is 10,000 milliseconds. This is an optional parameter.

      The connector groups messages for a period not exceeding the specified survey timeout and sends these to a rule. At the same time, the number of messages does not exceed the specified group size.

    For more information about the yandex_serverless_eventrouter_connector resource parameters, see the provider documentation.

  2. Create the resources:

    1. In the terminal, go to the directory where you edited the configuration file.

    2. 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.
      
    3. 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 show them.

    4. Apply the changes:

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

    Terraform will create all the required resources. You can check the new resources using the management console or this CLI command:

    yc serverless eventrouter connector list
    

To create a connector for Message Queue, use the Create REST API method for the connector resource or the connector/Create gRPC API call.

By default, the system creates a running connector. Stop the connector to prevent it from sending messages to the bus.
