AWS Firehose receiver

AWS Firehose receiver listens on 0.0.0.0:12801 by default, and provides an HTTP Endpoint /aws/firehose/metrics that follows Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose Delivery Stream HTTP Endpoint Delivery Specifications You could leverage the receiver to collect AWS CloudWatch metrics, and analysis it through MAL as the receiver bases on OpenTelemetry receiver

Setup(S3 example)

1. Create CloudWatch metrics configuration for S3 (refer to S3 CloudWatch metrics)
2. Stream CloudWatch metrics to AWS Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream by CloudWatch metrics stream
3. Specify AWS Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream HTTP Endpoint (refer to Choose HTTP Endpoint for Your Destination)

Usually, the AWS CloudWatch metrics process flow with OAP is as follows:

CloudWatch metrics with S3 -->  CloudWatch Metric Stream (OpenTelemetry formart) --> Kinesis Data Firehose Delivery Stream --> AWS Firehose receiver(OAP) --> OpenTelemetry receiver(OAP)

Notice

1. Only OpenTelemetry format is supported (refer to Metric streams output formats)
2. Only HTTPS could be accepted, you could directly enable TLS and set the receiver to listen 443, or put the receiver behind a gateway with HTTPS (refer to Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose Delivery Stream HTTP Endpoint Delivery Specifications)
