Cloudwatch Connector V2 Upgrade Deployment Fails

Question

I just tried to upgrade the GG Cloudwatch connector to the new version 2 and can no longer get that connector to deploy.  Here's the message:

```
Failed: Deployment ---abcdefg--- of type NewDeployment for group --foobar--- failed error: Greengrass deployment error: unable to execute download step in deployment. error while processing: unable to load the group file downloaded: lambda definition is invalid: [arn::lambda:us-west-2:aws:function:CloudWatchMetricConnector:2] is invalid [FunctionArn]
```

Deployment works just fine with the connector removed.  Is there a way to fix this, or a procedure for re-installing version 1 of the connector?  
Thanks.

Hi JennaSys,  
Thank you for your patience, this issue has now been resolved, and the connector V2 is working.  
  
Thank you

Thank you, I was able to deploy V2 now without any issues.  
Is there a changelog available for the differences between V1 and V2?  
Thanks.

Answer

Hi JennaSys,  
We identified a problem with that Connector version 2 that we are fixing right now. In the meantime, you can still use the version 1 of the connector using the AWS CLI \[1], or redeploy your older version of the Greengrass group

Answer

Thank you for letting me know about the situation.  I look forward to the fix.  
I didn't know redeploying an older version was possible.  I will look into doing that in the mean time.
