Create AWS Credentials

You can monitor workloads across multiple AWS accounts within one Monitoring Domain.

After launching GigaVUE‑FM in AWS, if the IAM is attached to the running instance of FM, then the EC2 Instance Role authentication credential is automatically added to the Credential page as the default credential. You must attach the IAM prior to creating a Monitoring Domain.
If you use the Basic Credentials authentication credentials, you must add these to the GigaVUE‑FM on the AWS Settings page, or on the Monitoring Domain creation page.

Refer to Create a Monitoring Domain for more details on how to create a Monitoring Domain.
