Hi All,

I am running graylog 3.3.1. I am trying to configure AWS Kinesis/CloudWatch input however I get error when configuring it. I have created the AWS user, role, and created required policies.

However, when i select aws authentication type as key & secret or automatic (environment variable created). I get the following error. I have also tried automatic authentication with environment variable but the error remains. appreciate your direction in resolving this issue.

Hello - Please try [aws-cli](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/) and see if you are able to connect with this.

@lingpri, you mean defining the credentials via aws cli configure command? if so, i have done that, and changed the authentication to automatic. It didn’t work.

step1 : pwd (/home/user/.aws)  
step2: there’s a file named `credentials`  
step3:contents of the file is as below,

```auto
[default]
aws_access_key_id = <your value>
aws_secret_access_key = <your secret access key>

```

`AWS Integrations` is working fine for me in my local. Please retry.
