You have to provide the the amazonCwClient in the Registry or your your accessKey and and secretKey to access the Amazon's CloudWatch.

If you need more control over the AmazonCloudWatch instance configuration you can create your own instance and refer to it from the URI:

Code Block

from("direct:start")
  .to("aws-cw://namepsace?amazonCwClient=#client");

The #client refers to a AmazonCloudWatch in the Registry.

For example if your Camel Application is running behind a firewall:

Code Block

AWSCredentials awsCredentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("myAccessKey", "mySecretKey");
ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration = new ClientConfiguration();
clientConfiguration.setProxyHost("http://myProxyHost");
clientConfiguration.setProxyPort(8080);

AmazonCloudWatch client = new AmazonCloudWatchClient(awsCredentials, clientConfiguration);

registry.bind("client", client);

...

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

titlepom.xmlxml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>

where ${camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel (2.10 or higher).
