  • (dict) --

    The optional metadata that you apply to a resource to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

    The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

    • Maximum number of tags per resource - 50.

    • For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.

    • Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8.

    • Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8.

    • If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.

    • Tag keys and values are case sensitive.

    • Do not use aws: , AWS: , or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for keys as it is reserved for AWS use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys with this prefix. Values can have this prefix. If a tag value has aws as its prefix but the key does not, then Forecast considers it to be a user tag and will count against the limit of 50 tags. Tags with only the key prefix of aws do not count against your tags per resource limit.

    • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      One part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A key is a general label that acts like a category for more specific tag values.

    • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]

CreateAutoPredictor (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'MonitorConfig': {'MonitorName': 'string'}}

Creates an Amazon Forecast predictor.

Amazon Forecast creates predictors with AutoPredictor, which involves applying the optimal combination of algorithms to each time series in your datasets. You can use CreateAutoPredictor to create new predictors or upgrade/retrain existing predictors.

Creating new predictors

The following parameters are required when creating a new predictor:

  • PredictorName - A unique name for the predictor.

  • DatasetGroupArn - The ARN of the dataset group used to train the predictor.

  • ForecastFrequency - The granularity of your forecasts (hourly, daily, weekly, etc).

  • ForecastHorizon - The number of time-steps that the model predicts. The forecast horizon is also called the prediction length.

When creating a new predictor, do not specify a value for ReferencePredictorArn .

Upgrading and retraining predictors

The following parameters are required when retraining or upgrading a predictor:

  • PredictorName - A unique name for the predictor.

  • ReferencePredictorArn - The ARN of the predictor to retrain or upgrade.

When upgrading or retraining a predictor, only specify values for the ReferencePredictorArn and PredictorName .

type ForecastDimensions

list

param ForecastDimensions

type ForecastFrequency

string

param ForecastFrequency

The frequency of predictions in a forecast.

Valid intervals are Y (Year), M (Month), W (Week), D (Day), H (Hour), 30min (30 minutes), 15min (15 minutes), 10min (10 minutes), 5min (5 minutes), and 1min (1 minute). For example, "Y" indicates every year and "5min" indicates every five minutes.

      "AttributeName": "demand",

      "Transformations": {"aggregation": "sum", "middlefill": "zero", "backfill": "zero"}

      }

      • AttributeName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        • aggregation : sum , avg , first , min , max

        • frontfill : none

        • middlefill : zero , nan (not a number), value , median , mean , min , max

        • backfill : zero , nan , value , median , mean , min , max

        • middlefill : zero , value , median , mean , min , max

        • backfill : zero , value , median , mean , min , max

        • futurefill : zero , value , median , mean , min , max

        To set a filling method to a specific value, set the fill parameter to value and define the value in a corresponding _value parameter. For example, to set backfilling to a value of 2, include the following: "backfill": "value" and "backfill_value":"2" .

type EncryptionConfig

dict

param EncryptionConfig

An AWS Key Management Service (KMS) key and an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that Amazon Forecast can assume to access the key. You can specify this optional object in the CreateDataset and CreatePredictor requests.

  • RoleArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The ARN of the IAM role that Amazon Forecast can assume to access the AWS KMS key.

    Passing a role across AWS accounts is not allowed. If you pass a role that isn't in your account, you get an InvalidInputException error.

  • KMSKeyArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the KMS key.

type ReferencePredictorArn

string

param ReferencePredictorArn

The ARN of the predictor to retrain or upgrade. This parameter is only used when retraining or upgrading a predictor. When creating a new predictor, do not specify a value for this parameter.

When upgrading or retraining a predictor, only specify values for the ReferencePredictorArn and PredictorName . The value for PredictorName must be a unique predictor name.

type OptimizationMetric

string

param OptimizationMetric

The accuracy metric used to optimize the predictor.

type ExplainPredictor

boolean

param ExplainPredictor

Create an Explainability resource for the predictor.

type Tags

list

param Tags

Optional metadata to help you categorize and organize your predictors. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. Tag keys and values are case sensitive.

The following restrictions apply to tags:

  • For each resource, each tag key must be unique and each tag key must have one value.

  • Maximum number of tags per resource: 50.

  • Maximum key length: 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8.

  • Maximum value length: 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8.

  • Accepted characters: all letters and numbers, spaces representable in UTF-8, and + - = . _ : / @. If your tagging schema is used across other services and resources, the character restrictions of those services also apply.

  • Key prefixes cannot include any upper or lowercase combination of aws: or AWS: . Values can have this prefix. If a tag value has aws as its prefix but the key does not, Forecast considers it to be a user tag and will count against the limit of 50 tags. Tags with only the key prefix of aws do not count against your tags per resource limit. You cannot edit or delete tag keys with this prefix.

  • (dict) --

    The optional metadata that you apply to a resource to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

    The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

    • Maximum number of tags per resource - 50.

    • For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.

    • Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8.

    • Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8.

    • If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.

    • Tag keys and values are case sensitive.

    • Do not use aws: , AWS: , or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for keys as it is reserved for AWS use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys with this prefix. Values can have this prefix. If a tag value has aws as its prefix but the key does not, then Forecast considers it to be a user tag and will count against the limit of 50 tags. Tags with only the key prefix of aws do not count against your tags per resource limit.

    • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      One part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A key is a general label that acts like a category for more specific tag values.

    • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      The optional part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A value acts as a descriptor within a tag category (key).

type MonitorConfig
