Kinesis Stream sharing across account for WAF Dashboards

Question

Hello, we're following AWS examples https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-waf-ops-dashboards specifically, with the CloudFormation building just fine. At the same time, we are using one AWS account as a CloudWatch Monitoring account (where we deployed this dashboard). Following this Ops dashboard example, we need to hook the Kibana/Dashboard into a Kinesis Stream. How should we go about doing so so that the Kinesis Stream created from this CloudFormation template, in the monitoring account, can be shared to all other accounts under the organization?

TIA!

Hi,

This blog post details the IAM policies, etc. that you need to setup for cross-account Kinesis streaming: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/field-notes-how-to-enable-cross-account-access-for-amazon-kinesis-data-streams-using-kinesis-client-library-2-x/

Also, this page in reference documentation will explain you how to do it: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisanalytics/latest/java/examples-cross.html

Best,

Didier
