Create QueryDefinition Resource

Resources are created with functions called constructors. To learn more about declaring and configuring resources, see Resources.

Constructor syntax

new QueryDefinition(name: string, args: QueryDefinitionArgs, opts?: CustomResourceOptions);
@overload
def QueryDefinition(resource_name: str,
                    args: QueryDefinitionArgs,
                    opts: Optional[ResourceOptions] = None)

Import

Using pulumi import, import CloudWatch query definitions using the query definition ARN. The ARN can be found on the “Edit Query” page for the query in the AWS Console. For example:

$ pulumi import aws:cloudwatch/queryDefinition:QueryDefinition example arn:aws:logs:us-west-2:123456789012:query-definition:269951d7-6f75-496d-9d7b-6b7a5486bdbd
