Bug: Pinpoint project is not shown in Cognito settings if region is not US

Question

I've created Cognito user pool and Pinpoint project both in eu-central-1. When I go to "Cognito -> General Settings -> Analytics -> Add analytics and campaigns" and try to add analytics and user campaigns to user pool, I can't select the Pinpoint project from the drop down list, it just shows "No results found". If I create a Pinpoint project in us-east-1 it appears in the drop down list.  
  
This seems to be a Cognito bug, it only scans Pinpoint projects created in us-east for the dropdown list.  
  
Where can I report this bug?

Accepted Answer

Hello,  
  
Currently, Cognito userpools can only use Pinpoint projects in the us-east-1 region as mentioned here \[1]. Unfortunately, there are no workarounds and the only option would be to create your Pinpoint projects within the us-east-1(N. Virginia) and associate them with a userpool in eu-central-1 region.

Answer

Thank you for your detailed response vismayataws!  
  
What if I manually send these events to Pinpoint from my mobile app using AWS SDK \[1]:

```
_userauth.sign_in
_userauth.sign_up
_userauth.auth_fail
```

Would that be sufficient to replace what Cognito does when interacting to Pinpoint? I am not interested in sharing user data to Pinpoint for targeting, I am only interested in tracking user pool sign-ups, sign-ins, failed authentications, daily active users (DAUs) and monthly active users (MAUs).
