How to use the IDT tools?

0

We download the AWS IDT tool (devicetester_greengrass_v2_4.9.3_testsuite_2.5.3_win). However, this tool package doesn't contain the user manual, so we can't run this tool. After checking with internet,we can know some json files also needs to be set. However, we can't know how to fill it out.Please help to tell us how to install this tool & fill it out the relative setting for AWS Greengrass V2 vertification.

Hi Brad,

  • Installation Steps:
  1. Download the AWS IoT Device Tester for AWS IoT Greengrass V2:

    Download the tool package from the AWS website or the official source provided by AWS. Ensure that you download the correct version compatible with your operating system (in this case, for Windows).

  2. Extract the Tool Package:

    Extract the contents of the downloaded package to a directory on your system.

3.Check for Documentation:

 Although the package might not contain a user manual, check if there are any README files or documentation provided within the extracted 
 directory. These documents might provide installation instructions and usage guidelines.
  • Configuration Steps:
  1. Set Up JSON Configuration Files:

    Look for JSON configuration files within the extracted directory. These files typically contain settings and parameters required for running the tests. Common JSON configuration files might include:

  •      config.json: General configuration settings.
    
  •      endpoint.json: AWS IoT endpoint configuration.
    
  •      credentials.json: AWS credentials configuration (access key, secret key).
    
  •      testsuite.json: Configuration for test suite execution.
    
  1. Fill Out JSON Configuration Files:

  •    Open each JSON configuration file in a text editor.
    
  •     Fill in the required parameters according to your AWS environment and the specifics of your Greengrass setup.
    
  •     Refer to any provided documentation or guidelines for the correct values to use in each configuration file.
    
  •     Pay attention to details such as AWS region, endpoint URLs, and authentication credentials.
    
  1. Save and Close Configuration Files:

    Save your changes after filling out the configuration files. Close the text editor.

  • Actually,we don't find the tool has any README files. We just want to know how to set those JSON configuration Files. Because we don't know those parameters defination and data, we don't how to fill it out. Could you offer an example and tell us those parameters defination and what information should we fill in?

  • Hi Brad,

    just look at below example script it may be helpful to you.

    { "deployment": { "region": "us-west-2", "environment": "production", "vpc": { "cidr_block": "10.0.0.0/16", "subnets": [ {"cidr_block": "10.0.1.0/24", "availability_zone": "us-west-2a"}, {"cidr_block": "10.0.2.0/24", "availability_zone": "us-west-2b"} ], "security_groups": [ {"name": "web_sg", "description": "Security group for web servers"}, {"name": "db_sg", "description": "Security group for database servers"} ] }, "compute": { "instance_type": "t3.micro", "ami_id": "ami-12345678", "key_name": "my-key-pair" }, "load_balancer": { "type": "application", "listeners": [ {"port": 80, "protocol": "HTTP"}, {"port": 443, "protocol": "HTTPS", "ssl_certificate": "arn:aws:acm:us-west-2:123456789012:certificate/abcd-1234"} ] } } }

    deployment: This section encompasses all deployment-related configurations. region: Specifies the AWS region where resources will be deployed. environment: Indicates the deployment environment (e.g., production, staging). vpc: Configures Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) settings. cidr_block: Defines the CIDR block for the VPC. subnets: Specifies subnets within the VPC, including CIDR blocks and availability zones. security_groups: Defines security groups for controlling inbound and outbound traffic. compute: Specifies settings related to compute

  • Thanks for your great help. Could you also help to share all the parameter defination for us? It will be helpful to understand which data defination should be filled it out.
