3.0.00 features

This topic contains information about the features released in PATROL for Amazon Web Services 3.0.00.

Monitor multiple AWS accounts by using trusted account

Monitor multiple Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts by using a single account as the trusted or main account. The trusted account is responsible for retrieving data from other accounts. For more information, see Prerequisites for configuring AWS instance.

Option to configure device mapping

Enable or disable device mapping for a monitoring configuration. You can create the device name based on any of the following options:

  • Private DNS (Private IPv4 address)
  • Public DNS (Public IPv4 address)
  • Instance ID
  • Name Tag

For more information, see Configuring the Amazon Web Services monitor type.

New services added for monitoring

Monitor the following AWS services:

  • Elastic Kubernetes Service
  • Virtual Private Cloud
  • Kafka
  • Elasticsearch

In addition, monitoring capabilities are enhanced for the following services:

  • Relational Database Service: Added support to monitor Aurora DB 
  • ElastiCache: Added support to monitor Redis Engine

The following table lists the application classes that are added:
