The agent is using the authentication parameters to access the AWS account. In case of sub-accounts, the agent tries to authenticate against them. If the "ALLOW SUB-ACCOUNT SKIPS" checkbox is checked, the agent will ignore failed sub-account authentications and will continue with the inventory.

The AWS REGIONS field can be used to select specific regions for the import only. If left empty, data from all active regions will be fetched.

The FILTER FOR LICENSE MODELS field provides an inventory-task level filtering option based upon the license model of the RDS instances. Please note that the inentory data includes the license model attribute which also allows users to filter instances at the report level.

For the inventory it is recommended to setup a custom inventory account underneath the parent AWS account. It is necessary to provide the ACCESS KEY ID and the SECRET ACCESS KEY for the account.

It is recommended to setup a custom inventory role. When connecting, the user account authenticates using the ACCESS KEY ID and the SECRET ACCESS KEY. Afterwards the user account uses the ASSUME ROLE ARN CHAIN in order to inventory the respective service.

It is possible to use a session token for the connection with the Session Token Service by entering the token into the SESSION TOKEN field. If the value of this field is null, the default value will be used.
