Review AWS Cloud Accounts

The page lists:

Account: AWS Account ID, followed by an Account Alias if one was assigned

When an account alias is assigned, the platform filters are configured to recognize only the account alias, not the account ID. To locate specific results within the inventory page, use the account alias.

Status: The Status of each AWS Account you have connected.
- Possible values: Connected, Pending, Partial Error, Error, Unknown. For more on status values, see Validate Account Connection.
Last Checked: Time at which a feature was last validated. Validation occurs every 24 hours.
Org ID: ID of the Organization to which the Account belongs, if applicable.
Added On: Date the Account was added to Sysdig Secure.

Validate Account Connection

There are two types integration status displayed, Feature level status, and Account level status. Statuses are validated approximately every 24 hours, with the first check occurring within an hour of enabling a feature.

In the case of connection errors, if you remediate them the status will be updated on the page when the validation is run again, up to 24 hours later.

Feature Status

When you connect a cloud account to Sysdig Secure, you select the Sysdig features you would like to enable, such as Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management (CIEM), Cloud Detection and Reponse (CDR) and Vulnerability Host Scanning. Features you’ve enabled will appear in the detail panel that opens when you select a row, where you can also see Feature connection status.

The possible Feature statuses are:

Status Value	Description
Connected	This feature was successfully onboarded and connected.
Not Enabled	This feature was not enabled during onboarding.
Error	There is an error in this feature connection.
Pending	This feature has been recently connected, and a validation will be run within an hour.
Unknown	Sysdig cannot determine the current status of the feature.

Account Status

The Account level status is shown in the main table, as well as at the top of the details panel. This status is an aggregate of the Feature statuses present in that Account.

The possible Account statuses are:

Status Value	Description
Connected	All selected features were successfully onboarded and connected.
Partial Error	There is an error in at least one enabled feature.
Error	There are errors in all enabled features.
Pending	The account has been recently connected, and a validation will be run within an hour.
Unknown	Sysdig cannot determine the current status of the account.
