Discover and configure AWS data streams

Discover data streams in the AWS cloud account, and assign data streams to Guardium collectors.

1. Browse to Discover > Database Discovery > Cloud DB Service Protection, and click the name of a Cloud DB service account.
   The Cloud DB Service Account page opens, and displays the Discover Streams table.

   Note: The next time that you access the Cloud DB Service Account page, the table is closed. Click Discover Streams to reopen the table.
2. Select the row of each region whose streams you want to discover and click Discover.
   Optionally, use the filter to limit your search. For example, type us into the filter window to show only data streams that contain the letters "us."
   Guardium searches the regions, and adds any new streams from the selected regions to the Streams table.
3. Scroll down to the Streams table (or click Hide Discover Streams).
4. Select a stream and then click Assign Collector to open the Assign Collector to Selected Stream window. Enter the following information:
   • Collector: Select one or more collectors from the Select collector list.
     Note: You can assign collectors only to the central manager (in a managed environment).
   • DB Type: The database type.
   • DB DNS endpoint: Your DB DNS endpoint.
   • Port: The DB DNS endpoint port.
   • Cluster resource ID: Required. The cluster resource ID for the AWS RDS cluster associated with the stream. If you enter an invalid or unknown cluster resource ID, an error is reported in the status for the stream.
   • Consumer group name: Determines whether multiple consumers have a shared or separate view of this data stream. The consumer group name can be any unique name. To share the data stream view, use the same consumer group name.
5. Optionally, select Start monitoring stream. If you do not start monitoring now, you can enable monitoring from the Streams table later.
