Configuring NetBrain to Access AWS Using Key-based Access

Once you've granted AWS access to NetBrain, you need to connect NetBrain to your Amazon AWS account.

1. On the Domain Management page, select Operations > Discover Settings > API Server Manager from the quick access toolbar.
   
2. In the Server Name field, enter a meaningful name that can uniquely identify your AWS account.
3. Create a new external API server and select Amazon AWS as the API Source Type.

1. In the Access Key Id field, paste the identifier of the key you created in AWS for NetBrain access.
2. In the Secret Access Key field, paste the value of the key you created in AWS for NetBrain access.
3. In the Endpoint (Account ID) field, enter the AWS account identifier.
4. Click Test to verify the connection.
5. Click OK to save the connection.

4. Once the connection is verified and saved, you can proceed to Discovering AWS Network in NetBrain Domain to start the data retrieval process.

   Note: By default, NetBrain queries all regions in your AWS accounts for data retrieval. NetBrain will further identify whether there are resources for these regions based on whether the ENI interface exists in these regions. If you only want to retrieve the data for specific regions, you can specify the regions you want NetBrain to access in the Parameter List field.
