AWS Kinesis is a platform on AWS to collect, process, and analyze real-time, streaming data. It enables you to build applications that continuously ingest and process large streams of data records in real-time. Kinesis is commonly used for real-time analytics, log and event data collection, and more.
When working with AWS Kinesis, you might encounter the ResourceNotFoundException error. This error typically occurs when attempting to access a Kinesis stream that does not exist. The error message usually reads: "The specified stream does not exist."
The ResourceNotFoundException is an indication that the AWS Kinesis service cannot find the stream you are trying to access. This could be due to a typographical error in the stream name, the stream being deleted, or attempting to access the stream in a different AWS region than it was created.
This error is often caused by:
Follow these steps to resolve the ResourceNotFoundException:
Double-check the stream name in your application code or AWS CLI command. Ensure it matches the name of the stream you created. You can list all streams in your account using the AWS CLI:
aws kinesis list-streams --region
Ensure that you are operating in the correct AWS region. Kinesis streams are region-specific, and accessing a stream in a different region will result in this error. You can set the region in your AWS CLI configuration or specify it in your command:
aws configure set region
Log in to the AWS Management Console and navigate to the Kinesis service. Verify that the stream exists and is in the "Active" state.
If the stream does not exist, you will need to recreate it. Use the AWS CLI or AWS SDKs to create a new stream:
aws kinesis create-stream --stream-name --shard-count --region
