Creating a New Address Object Mapping

To create a new address object mapping

  1. Navigate to the Object > Profile Objects > AWS page.
  2. Click the New Mapping button. This pops up a dialog enabling you to specify the details of the mapping.

  3. In the Address Group drop-down list, select the existing address group to which the address groups representing any matched EC2 Instances will be added.

    Only custom address groups are shown in the selection control. If you have added a custom tag to an address group, you can use this custom tag to add a new condition to the mapping.

  4. Click the New Condition button. The Mapping Condition options are displayed.

  5. Choose the desired property from the Property drop-down list. For example, select Custom Tag.
  6. In the Key field, enter the key for the tag.
  7. In the Value field, enter the value that you wish to match against, such as true.

  8. Click OK.
  9. Back in the Address Group Mapping dialog, optionally add another mapping condition by clicking the New Condition button again.
  10. Select the desired property from the Property drop-down list.
  11. Fill in the displayed fields as needed.

  12. Click OK.
  13. Back in the Address Group Mapping dialog, review the whole mapping condition you are about to create.

    Any EC2 Instance in the regions of interest that match our specified conditions (in this example, having a custom tag of AccountsServer = true and of type t2.micro) will have address objects created for each of their IP addresses. Those address objects are added to an address group, representing the EC2 Instance as a whole and that address group is added to the address group targeted in the mapping. In this example, that is the address group called AccountsDeptServers.

  14. Optionally edit or delete particular conditions by clicking on the corresponding button in the Manage column of the row.
  15. When ready, click OK.
  16. In the Object > Profile Objects > AWS page, click Accept to save the mapping.
