Once you onboard an AWS account into the Carbon Black Cloud console you can view its details and perform actions on it in the Settings > AWS Accounts page.

You view a list of all onboarded AWS accounts, their status, name, and onboard environment.

You can use the search field to search for particular accounts and the filtering capabilities of the Carbon Black Cloud console to improve your visibility and use that result set as a jump-off point to further engage with the onboarded accounts. The following account Filter facets are available.

  • You can filter AWS accounts by their Status.
    • Active
    • In Progress
    • Error
  • You can filter accounts based on their Carbon Black Cloud onboard Environment.
    • Development
    • Staging
    • Test
    • Production

To view all details for a selected AWS account, double-click the row or click the > icon. Click Edit under the Account Details section and update the account's details. Changes apply immediately but the validation of account credentials can take some time. You can also update the account status by using different external ID or switching to another ARN role.

Use the Regions drop-down menu to add more regions to the selected account. Here you can also synchronize or delete a region under the Action column.
  • When you synchronize a region, Carbon Black Cloud updates with the latest information on the EC2 instances and Auto Scaling Group from your customer's AWS account.
  • When you delete a region from the account, the Carbon Black Cloud removes all inventory related information for the EC2 instances within that region. EC2 instances without sensor are not present on the Not Enabled tab and instances with installed sensors lack AWS metadata.

While in the list with the AWS accounts, you can select one or more accounts, and click Delete from the Take Action drop-down menu. When you delete an account, all regions associated with that account are deleted from the Carbon Black Cloud. Inventory and AWS metadata related information for the regions in this account are also deleted.

To export the AWS accounts and the data associated with them, click the Export button in the upper right section of the page. You can apply the search and filter capabilities, and then export only the accounts and the associated details that you are interested in.

You can view all the activities associated with the AWS account onboarding, such as adding an account or bulk deletion of accounts. To view these activities, navigate to Settings > Audit Log. For more details, see Audit Logs.
