Configure an Amazon SNS connection

Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) is a notification service provided as part of Amazon Web Services (AWS).

To use SNS, you need to create the following in advance:

  • An AWS account.
  • An access key created at Identity and Access Management (IAM) cloud.
  • An SNS topic.

For detailed information on how to work with SNS topics, see the Amazon AWS documentation.

To configure an SNS connection, follow the steps below:

  1. Add a new connection and go to the Edit section of the API Connection Manager.

  2. Select Amazon SNS from the Type drop-down menu.

  3. Copy the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of your SNS topic from the AWS console. Tricentis Tosca then automatically populates the following fields:

    • Topic: The name of the topic you want to send a message to.

    • Account: The AWS account ID number.

    • Partition: The aws value is a default.

    You can also modify the values manually. Your entries update the ARN value.

  4. In the Authentication section, enter Access Key and Secret Key credentials for your AWS account.

  5. Optionally, select a Region from the drop-down menu. The default value is US East (Ohio).

    Your selection updates the ARN value.
