Create an AWS cloud action to discover assets across your AWS environment. This lets Lansweeper inventory your cloud infrastructure—such as EC2 instances, RDS databases, and S3 buckets—so you can track resources, improve visibility, and maintain accurate asset data across hybrid environments.

Prerequisities

Create an AWS cloud action

  1. In your Lansweeper Site, go to Discovery > Actions.

  2. Select Create action > Cloud > Add action.

  5. Enter your Main account role ARN and Reading roles name.

  6. Select either Standalone account or Organization.

  7. Select List accounts.

  8. Choose the AWS accounts you want to add to the discovery action.
