@spetsnaz84 This is not a failure, but it is logging the complete traceback at error-level when it most likely should not; Firehose is only available in us-east-1, us-west-2 and eu-west-1.

The best fix to this is probably for the next release to not log the traceback for that error. It would also be possible to only check firehose in a hard-coded list of regions, but then that would require a new awslimitchecker release when firehose is enabled in other regions.

Until the next release is out, this error is harmless and can be ignored, or else you explicitly specify the services to check when you run awslimitchecker, and not include Firehose.

This has been released as 0.9.0 and is now live on PyPI (CHANGELOG).
