Minimum Permissions Required for Acquiring Traffic using Traffic Mirroring and GwLB

Prerequisites:

Before configuring the required permissions and previleges in AWS, you must install GigaVUE-FM. For details, refer to Install GigaVUE-FM on AWS.

If you are using inline policy or basic authentication, then you must update the policy with the relevant IAM service. For more information, see Minimum Permissions Required for Inline Policies and Basic Authentication.

This policy allows you to acquire traffic using Traffic Mirroring with Gateway Load Balancer and authenticate using an IAM instance role.

For more information regarding policies and permissions, refer to AWS Documentation.

If you are using inline policy or basic authentication, then you must update the policy with the relevant IAM service. For more information, see GigaVUE-FM Instance Multi Account Support Using Amazon STS.

What to do Next:

Configure the AWS credentials in GigaVUE-FM to monitor workloads across multiple AWS accounts within one Monitoring Domain. For details, refer to Create AWS Credentials.
