AWS Credential

The Credentials Library stores Amazon Web Services authentication data for devices in your WhatsUp Gold database to be used whenever authentication is needed to connect to and gather data from AWS-managed resources.

Configure the following fields to create an AWS credential:

• Name. Enter a unique name for the credential. This name displays in the Credentials Library.
• Description. Optional description.
• Access Key ID. Enter the access key ID to the AWS environment you want to monitor.
• Secret Access Key. Enter the access key ID to the AWS environment you want to monitor.

  Note: You can create new AWS access IDs and access keys from the Identity and Access Management (IAM) portal.
