Kinesis - tools to operationally manage streams

Question

Are there any third-party tools that customers can use to operationally manage Kinesis streams?

For example, if a customer has dozens of Kinesis streams, outside of using AWS Console and scripting against CloudWatch, does a graphical tool exist to help with the operational burden of managing multiple Kinesis streams.

Accepted Answer

CloudWatch dashboards are pretty powerful when it comes to visualizing CloudWatch metrics across multiple resources, incl. Kinesis streams. Would that help?

One limitation is that you can only visualize data from within the same account, multi-account was a roadmap item last time I checked.

Going beyond that, DataDog comes to mind as one external system to visualize across accounts and with more features.

These tools are for monitoring the streams, managing in terms of create, update and delete is different.

Update with autoscaling like functionality can be done by Ian's wonderful Kinesis scaling utility ([https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-scaling-utils][1])

Create and delete should not be that common and is pretty easy already through the API/SDK/CLI.

Please let me know if this helps or detail the use case more.
