To monitor non-default AWS regions—Middle East (Bahrain), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), and Europe (Milan)—using role-based credentials, you need to modify the IAM STS settings in the AWS IAM console.

1. In the AWS IAM console, go to&nbsp; **Account settings**.
2. In&nbsp;**Security Token Service (STS)**, select&nbsp; **Edit** &nbsp;to change&nbsp; **Region compatibility of session tokens** &nbsp;for&nbsp;`Global endpoint`&nbsp;to&nbsp; **Valid in all AWS Regions**.
3. Select&nbsp; **Save changes**.
