The discovery only retrieves basic data of your AWS network and builds L3 topology. After the discovery, you need to execute a benchmark task to retrieve all data and build all components, including visual spaces and data views.

Example: Benchmark AWS in a NetBrain Domain.

1. On the Start Page, click Schedule Task.
2. On the Schedule Discovery/Benchmark tab, click +Add Benchmark Task.
3. On the Frequency tab, define the task frequency.
4. On the Device Scope tab, check the Select external API servers to retrieve data of SDN nodes check box and select controllers.
   

   Note: As a best practice, we recommend re-using the “Basic System Benchmark” with a full benchmark task, where all devices are selected. This ensures that all AWS-connected physical or virtual devices are selected within the device scope.

5. On the Retrieve Live Data tab, select the Amazon AWS check box, and make sure the following tables (under the NCT table) are selected:

• AWS ENI Interface Table
• AWS ELB Listener Table
• AWS NAT Table
• AWS Network ACL Table
• AWS Security Group Table
• AWS ELB Target Group Table
• AWS Transit Gateway Attachments Table
• AWS Transit Gateway Route Table
• AWS VPC Peering Table
• AWS PC Route Table

6. On the Additional Operation After Benchmark tab, select the following checkboxes:

• Update MPLS Cloud
• Update Public Cloud
• Update Build Topology

7. Click Submit.
