This section describes the configuration steps (required and optional) needed to set up the Amazon Web Services solution package.

Configuring Data Connections

To configure data connections for the Solution Package for Amazon Web Services:

• Copy the following jars from your AWS SDK to a single directory. The jars are:

aws-java-sdk-*.jar
commons-codec-*.jar
httpclient-*.jar
httpcore-*.jar
commons-logging-*.jar
jackson-annotations-*.jar
jackson-core-*.jar
jackson-databind-*.jar
joda-time-*.jar

• Navigate to Solution Package Configuration > Amazon Web Services > CONNECTIONS tab.
• On the CONNECTIONS tab, provide the correct full path to the directory containing the Amazon Web Services SDK jar files in the Classpath field. Use forward slashes in path name. For env vars, always use %% (including on UNIX).

• In the Connection region, specify the following:

Access Key ID- Obtain this value by browsing to your Amazon account on the Amazon Web Services website > Security Credentials tab.

Secret Access Key- Obtain this value by browsing to your Amazon account on the Amazon Web Services website > Security Credentials tab. “Quote” special characters using \\ (eg, %2F --> \\%2F).

Endpoint - The fully-qualified DNS name for an Amazon service (CloudWatch) that provides monitoring data. For a list of endpoints for Amazon CloudWatch refer to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html.

Initial History- The number of hours of past history to retrieve for first query to ACW. The default is 2 hours. Subsequent queries use a time window of 1 minute.

Modifying Default Data Collection Update Rates (Optional)

If you want to modify the default values for the update rates for the TIBCO ActiveMatrix caches, you can update the default polling rates (query interval, in seconds) used to collect the metric data in the Poll Rates field.

To update the polling rates for the Solution Package for Amazon Web Services:

• Navigate to Solution Package Configuration > Amazon Web Services > DATA COLLECTION tab.
• In the Poll Rate field, enter the time interval, in seconds, to check for data updates. The default is 30 seconds. The AwsEc2InstanceStats andAwsEc2Instances caches are impacted by this field.
