Create dynamic tags using AWS tags

tarun_kumar_aga — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 07:36:29 GMT

Hi,

we want to create dynamic tags using Aws imported tags to the underlying process & services.Is it possible?

All our engineering teams will send [AWS]serviceID=1234,whereas serviceID value will be changing for each host’s & application .we want to extract serviceID value and pass it as tags to the process & services.

thanks,

tarun

Hi,
Yes it is possible:) Take a look at this documentation:

I am not aware of any way to dynamically propagate AWS tags via automatic tags.
You should create a rule for each "[AWS]serviceID"
I would say that using a host custom property would be a better approach in this case.
