Import Tags from Amazon Web Services

Note: Detailed information about Amazon Web Services is outside the scope of Splunk AppDynamics documentation.

Before Server Visibility can import tags from AWS, you must set up IAM roles:

  1. Log in to the AWS console: https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
  2. Create a role with read access to EC2 tags. Specifically, the role must have an AWS Managed Policy with the required permissions (such as, AmazonEC2ReadOnlyAccess) attached.
  3. Add this role to your EC2 instance.For information about these steps, search for "To create an IAM role using the IAM console" and "Attaching an IAM Role to an Instance" in this page.
  4. Run the Machine Agent with Amazon Web Services enabled.
