AWS EC2

Configuration​

Type​

Resource type. In this case it would be aws_ec2.

Configuration​

  • access_key: AWS access key
  • secret_key: AWS secret key
  • region: AWS region. e.g: us-west-1
  • session_token: AWS session token
  • account_id: AWS account ID

Fields​

List of available fields to add with resource add metadata. During scanning resources, scanner will only fetch data from the following fields.

  • instance_id
  • image_id
  • private_dns_name
  • instance_type
  • architecture
  • instance_lifecycle
  • instance_state
  • vpc_id
  • tags

Schedule​

🔗 Check schedule format.

Example​

source:
  aws_ec2_source_one:
      type: aws_ec2
      configuration:
        access_key: "xxxx"
        secret_key: "xxxx"
        session_token: "xxxx"
        region: "x"
        account_id: "xxx"
      fields:
        - instance_id
        - image_id
        - private_dns_name
        - instance_type
        - architecture
        - instance_lifecycle
        - instance_state
        - vpc_id
        - tags
      schedule: "@every 24h"

In the above example, we have added a source named aws_ec2_source_one with type aws_ec2. We have added some fields to add with each resource. We have also set the schedule to run this source every 24 hours.

Based on the above example, scanner_name would be aws_ec2_source_one and scanner_type would be aws_ec2. This is important to filter resources in Grafana dashboard.
