Unable to create Measurement definition in Asset Model properties (IoT_Site_Wise) through AWS Cloud Formation Template. Tried to create in many ways by changing Logical id, Datatype, Name etc. Please help me to create Measurement definitions. It will be a great help if anyone can provide sample template for Measurement creations.

Answer

`DataTypeSpec` is for when the `STRUCT` DataType is being used. Since your property is an Integer, you can omit this property.
