When setting up discovery or visibility for AWS infrastructures, the Additional Tags feature lets you specify that CDV add the values of specified AWS resource tags to the BAM entitites created during Discovery and Visibility operations. AWS Tag information is added to a BlueCat Address Manager User-Defined Field (BAM UDF), which you specify. You can add tags for all available resources, or for specific types of resources. In all cases, you must specify the names of all AWS resource tags that you want to discover.
This feature requires the following additional permissions:
...
"Action": [
...
"ec2:DescribeTags",
"elasticloadbalancing:DescribeTags",
...
],
...You can specify the Additional Tags list in the Discovery options for an AWS discovery or visibility job.
Address Manager objects that support discovery of AWS resource tags
CDV can import resource tags from the following Address Manager objects. If you want to set up UDFs before discovery, you will need a UDF for every Address Manager object whose tags you want to discover.
