Add a Cloud Account for
AWS

You can add a
AWS
 cloud account instance to your
VMware Aria Operations
 implementation.
VMware Aria Operations
 collects data from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and supports both commercial and AWS GovCloud accounts. It covers multiple services and regions. You can also add application metrics and other custom metrics from your AWS services and use them in dashboards, alerts and reports.
  • For key-based authentication, obtain the Access Key and Secret Key values. See Generate Required Access Keys. These values are not the same as your log in credentials for the Amazon Web Services site.
  • Determine the services for which you collect metrics. See, Supported AWS Services. The default value * includes all services in your subscription. If you do not want to subscribe to all services, you can specify region identifiers in the Regions text box.
  • Determine the regions to which you subscribe. Amazon Web Services are divided into different regions. The default value * includes all regions in your subscription. If you do not want to subscribe to all regions, you can specify region identifiers in the Regions text box.

  • Determine any blocked list or allowed list filters. These filters use regular expressions to filter in or out specific objects by name. For example, an allowed list filter of
    .*indows.*
     allows only objects with a name including "indows". A blocked list filter of
    .*indows.*
     filters out all objects with that string in their name.
  • To publish custom metrics to CloudWatch, see Publishing Custom Metrics.
  • To collect additional metrics for EC2 through CloudWatch agent, set up the agent. For details, see Installing CloudWatch Agent.
