You manage AWS Visibility jobs in the Visibility Management section of the AWS Management page. This section displays all active or scheduled Visibility Managers.

Tip: A Visibility Manager is a collection of visibility jobs that were created during Discovery when the AWS Monitoring Options are set to Visibility. When you perform actions on a Visibility Manager (Start, Stop, and so on), Cloud Discovery & Visibility (CDV) performs those actions on all jobs within that Visibility Manager. For more details, see About AWS Visibility jobs and Visibility managers.

To start, stop, or otherwise manage a Visibility Manager's visibility jobs:

  • In the Visibility Management table, select the checkbox next to one or more Visibility Managers, click , then click one of the following:

    • Start: Start the visibility jobs in the selected Visibility Managers.

    • Stop: Stop the visibility jobs in the selected Visibility Managers.

      Attention: CDV automatically runs Discovery before starting or restarting a Visibility job. Doing so makes sure that CDV retrieves any changes made while the Visibility job was stopped.
    • Terminate: Delete the visibility jobs in the selected Visibility Managers.

    • Update Visibility Options: Update the configured resource objects that are discovered and visible from the selected visibility jobs.

      For more details, see Updating AWS visibility jobs.

    • Update credential: Update the credentials of the selected visibility jobs.

      For more details, see Updating credentials of AWS visibility jobs.

    • Export Visibility Jobs: Export the Visibility Manager (and all of its jobs) to a file. When exporting the visibility jobs, you can define a key within the Secret Key field that will be used to encrypt the file.

      For more details, see Exporting visibility jobs.

    • Import Visibility Jobs: Import Visibility Managers (and all of its jobs) from a file. If you encrypted the file, you must enter the key used to encrypt the file within the Secret Key field to decrypt the file.

      Note: Visibility Managers for AWS were introduced in v23.3. If you import visibility jobs that were exported in previous versions, they will be converted to Visiblity Managers.

    • Update Account Filter: Update the filters that CDV uses to decide which AWS Accounts within an Organization should be included in discovery and visibility.

      For more details on these filters, see Running AWS Organization-level discovery jobs.

      Note: This action is available only for Organization-level discovery jobs. For more details on setting up discovery to run at the Organization level, see Setting up and running AWS Organization-level discovery jobs.
