In the following image, Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs) have been configured in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure.
Cloud Discovery & Visibility (CDV) imports the ELBs into Address Manager as
devices with a Device Subtype of ELBv2 LoadBalancer. To avoid
collisions between load balancers of the same name but different AWS Load balancer
types, CDV uses the AWS Load Balancer type and the LoadBalancerName portion of
its ARN (Amazon Resource Name) as the device resource name. That is, everything after
loadbalancer/ in the ARN becomes the resource name.
There are two types of ELBv2 Load Balancers:
- Network Load Balancer: Within the ARN, the load balancer type is designated
as
net. - Application Load Balancer: Within the ARN, the load balancer type is
designated as
app.
For example, if within AWS you have an Application Load Balancer with the following ARN:
arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-east-1:938684065067:loadbalancer/app/lb-demo/7b8d32c7a86bce9dCDV will import that ELB as a device with the following name:
app/lb-demo/7b8d32c7a86bce9d
