Kinesis Target
Authentication
Authentication is done via the AWS authentication environment variables. Optionally, you can use the role_arn option to specify an ARN to use on the stream.
Throttle retries
As of 2.4.2, the kinesis target handles kinesis write throughput exceptions separately from all other errors and failures. It will back off and retry only the throttled records on an initial back off of 50ms, increasing by 50ms each time, until there are no more throttle errors.
Configuration options
Here is an example of the minimum required configuration:
assets/docs/configuration/targets/kinesis-minimal-example.hcl

If you want to use this as a failure target, then use failure_target instead of target. Here is an example of every configuration option:
assets/docs/configuration/targets/kinesis-full-example.hcl

If you want to use this as a failure target, then use failure_target instead of target.
