This processor sends prompts to your chosen large language model (LLM) and generates text from the responses, using the AWS Bedrock API.

Fields

credentials

Configure which AWS credentials to use (optional). For more information, see Amazon Web Services.

Type: object

credentials.from_ec2_role

Use the credentials of a host EC2 machine configured to assume an IAM role associated with the instance.

Requires version 4.2.0 or later.

Type: bool

credentials.id

The ID of credentials to use.

Type: string

credentials.profile

The profile from ~/.aws/credentials to use.

Type: string

credentials.role

The role ARN to assume.

Type: string

credentials.role_external_id

The external ID to use when assuming a role.

Type: string

credentials.secret

The secret for the credentials you want to use.

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets.

Type: string

credentials.token

The token for the credentials you want to use. You must enter this value when using short-term credentials.

Type: string

endpoint

A custom endpoint URL for AWS API requests. Use this to connect to AWS-compatible services or local testing environments instead of the standard AWS endpoints.

Type: string

max_tokens

The maximum number of tokens to allow in the generated response.

Type: int

model

The model ID to use. For a full list, see the AWS Bedrock documentation.

Type: string

# Examples:
model: amazon.titan-text-express-v1

# ---

model: anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0

# ---

model: cohere.command-text-v14

# ---

model: meta.llama3-1-70b-instruct-v1:0

# ---

model: mistral.mistral-large-2402-v1:0

prompt

The prompt you want to generate a response for. By default, the processor submits the entire payload as a string.

Type: string

region

The AWS region to target.

Type: string

stop[]

A list of stop sequences. A stop sequence is a sequence of characters that causes the model to stop generating the response.

Type: array

system_prompt

The system prompt to submit to the AWS Bedrock LLM.

Type: string

tcp

Configure TCP socket-level settings to optimize network performance and reliability. These low-level controls are useful for:

  • High-latency networks: Increase connect_timeout to allow more time for connection establishment

  • Long-lived connections: Configure keep_alive settings to detect and recover from stale connections

  • Unstable networks: Tune keep-alive probes to balance between quick failure detection and avoiding false positives

  • Linux systems with specific requirements: Use tcp_user_timeout (Linux 2.6.37+) to control data acknowledgment timeouts

Most users should keep the default values. Only modify these settings if you’re experiencing connection stability issues or have specific network requirements.

Type: object

tcp.connect_timeout

Maximum amount of time a dial will wait for a connect to complete. Zero disables.

Type: string

Default: 0s

tcp.keep_alive

TCP keep-alive probe configuration.

Type: object

tcp.keep_alive.count

Maximum unanswered keep-alive probes before dropping the connection. Zero defaults to 9.

Type: int

Default: 9

tcp.keep_alive.idle

Duration the connection must be idle before sending the first keep-alive probe. Zero defaults to 15s. Negative values disable keep-alive probes.

Type: string

Default: 15s

tcp.keep_alive.interval

Duration between keep-alive probes. Zero defaults to 15s.

Type: string

Default: 15s

tcp.tcp_user_timeout

Maximum time to wait for acknowledgment of transmitted data before killing the connection. Linux-only (kernel 2.6.37+), ignored on other platforms. When enabled, keep_alive.idle must be greater than this value per RFC 5482. Zero disables.

Type: string

Default: 0s

temperature

The likelihood of the model selecting higher-probability options while generating a response. A lower value makes the model more likely to choose higher-probability options. A higher value makes the model more likely to choose lower-probability options.

Type: float

top_p

The percentage of most-likely candidates that the model considers for the next token. For example, if you choose a value of 0.8, the model selects from the top 80% of the probability distribution of tokens that could be next in the sequence.

Type: float
