The AWS Security Monitoring application is a comprehensive tool primarily focused on security use cases, but that also analyzes the general status of an AWS environment from an operational standpoint.

Through its 'single pane of glass' approach, Security Monitoring simplifies the diagnostics of an AWS environment, facilitating also the analysis in depth of the running instances as well as their performance and health condition in real time.

AWS Security app is offered in Devo Exchange. This application requires your domain to have these data sources:

cloud.aws.cloudtrail
cloud.aws.cloudtrail.events

After it has been installed, it is necessary to go to Roles Management. It is located in the navigation menu by clicking on Administration > Roles. In Roles Management select the role that will use the application, then click on the Application tab. Select AWS Security and move it to the right. Click Save.

You will need to log out using the logout option at the bottom of the navigation menu and then sign back in.

When you log back in, from the navigation menu click Applications, then AWS Security.
