Links in each chart take you to the relevant Affinity Group or Database pages.
• Click the blue gear icon on the dashboard page to select the widgets you want to see.

AWS Roles Support for AWS Cloud Autodiscovery

• Device42 v17.03.00 introduces an AWS Roles editor that you can use to define and add AWS Roles that you can then use when you create and run AWS cloud autodiscovery jobs to discover specific AWS accounts associated with those roles in addition to, or instead of, discovering only your main AWS account. Select Resources > Secrets > AWS Roles to display the editor.
• Your AWS Roles appear in the Available AWS Roles list when you create your AWS autodiscovery jobs. See AWS Cloud Autodiscovery for more information about editing and using AWS Roles.

AWS Elastic Load Balancer Autodiscovery

• Device42 v17.03.00 AWS cloud autodiscovery now supports elastic load balancer discovery to give you a more complete view of your AWS cloud infrastructure. Click the Advanced Features (Show) tab on the Add/Edit AWS cloud autodiscovery page to select the different types of resources you want the job to discover (EBS, Databases, Load Balancer, etc.). See AWS Cloud Autodiscovery for more information.

New Resources List Page Table Settings

• In v17.03.00, the Resources list page now includes a Table Settings option you can use to select the columns you want the page display to make it easier to get at the information you want or need. On the list page, click Table Settings.
