Update AWS connections

Dynatrace regularly expands its AWS resource type coverage for topology monitoring. This means we periodically make additional AWS API calls to collect topology data for newly supported resource types.

Because the AWS IAM policy for the Dynatrace Integration IAM role is scoped to only the permissions required (following AWS's IAM security best practices), you’ll need to update the CloudFormation stack over time to grant this role any new IAM permissions in your AWS account(s).

For a complete list of required AWS monitoring role IAM permissions, see the IAM role template

To ensure you receive topology data for all supported resource types, please update your CloudFormation stacks to the latest version.

When we release an update, we will include the release notes and instructions on how to update.
