Deploy Reveal(x) 360 sensors for AWS

Your tenant ID is required to create an IAM role and to tag your ENI resources in AWS. Retrieve the ID from the Reveal(x) 360 Console by completing the following steps.

1. Log in to the Reveal(x) 360 Console through the URL provided in your welcome email.
2. Click Available Mirror Targets.
3. Copy the Tenant ID.

You must create an ENI for each subnet in your VPC that you want to monitor with Reveal(x) 360. A single Reveal(x) 360 sensor can only monitor ENIs from one availability zone.

1. Log in to the Amazon EC2 management console through https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.
2. In the left pane, under Network & Security, click Network Interfaces.
3. Click Create Network Interface and complete the following fields:

   Description: Type a description. The description text appears in the Description field on the Mirror Target Interfaces page.

   Subnet: Select a subnet from the drop-down list.

   IPv4 Private IP: Select Auto-assign. Alternatively, select Custom and then type the primary private IPv4 address in the IPv4 address field. If the subnet has an associated IPv6 CIDR block, you can optionally specify an IPv6 address.

   Elastic Fabric Adapter: Do not select the Elastic Fabric Adapter checkbox.

   Security groups: Select the security group you created earlier to allow VXLAN traffic into the ENI.

4. Click Add Tag.
5. Type extrahop-tenant in the Key field and type your tenant ID in the Value field.
6. Click Create.

The IAM role enables you to grant ExtraHop access to the traffic mirror targets you created in AWS.

1. Return to the AWS Management Console.
2. In the Security, Identity, & Compliance section, click IAM.
3. In the left pane, click Roles.
4. Click Create role.
