How do I input AWS and Azure host credentials in the Alert Logic console?

Host credentials in Alert Logic® can be added individually to each EC2 host, as well as at the Region, VPC, and subnet level. Credentials are inherited in a parent-child style relationship, so credentials added at the Region level are automatically inherited by the VPCs, subnets, and EC2 hosts that fall under it in a hierarchical relationship chart.

Note: The following information applies only to Alert Logic customers with Cloud Defender™, Threat Manager™, or Log Manager™ entitlements.

To add credentials, navigate to Overview > Topology tab at the top left of the Alert Logic console. Select a Region, VPC, subnet, or EC2 host on the network topology map. An informational box for the selected asset will appear on the right side of the browser window. Select the Key icon () near the top of the box, then select the type of credential you are inputting. Once you have input the correct information, select the add credential button.

If you are an Alert Logic Essentials, Professional, or Enterprise customer, click the menu icon () > Investigate > Topology. Select a Region, VPC, subnet, or EC2 host on the network topology map. An informational box for the selected asset will appear on the right side of the browser window. Select the Key icon (), then select the type of credential you are inputting. Once you have input the correct information, select the Add Credential button. 

Alert Logic supports Windows, ssh, and ssk+key logins for host level credentialed scanning. Alert Logic supports both local and domain-based Windows credentials, as well as ssh with password or ssh with key for Linux/Unix hosts.
