Terraform configuration for DynamoDB tracker store

Rasa Open Source
1

Hi All, We are running the rasa server in our AWS ECS cluster and have configured the trackerStore as Dynamo with some random-table name, and we are expecting that rasa should be able to create the table out of the box and should store all our conversation data into this table.

We have updated our terraform scripts to give permission to this ecs instance, however we are still getting the permission denied exceptions.

Another issue is even if we want to utilise the existing table RASA still goes to create the table first without identifying whether it exists or not?

Could you please help us with a short terraform script which can help us allowing rasa to create the dynamoDB tracker table and store data into it.

Please find below excpetion we are getting in our cloudwatch logs:

botocore.exception:clientError: An error occured(AccessDeniedException) when calling the CreateTableOperation:user

I haven’t used Rasa with Dynamo in a while but it should work. The code is here and it looks like it does create the table if it doesn’t already exist. It looks like you have a permissions issue which isn’t allowing Rasa to create the table.

Thanks for the reply. It worked for me, I checked the code and crated the table similar to the structure rasa creates and then it worked. In my case create table permission was the primary issue.
