Configure MID Server for AWS S3 access

Configure MID Server properties to enable Simple Storage Service (S3) access from the ServiceNow AI Platform® when performing Systems Manager (SSM) Agent discovery.

Vorbereitungen

Confirm the following:

• You have at least one MID Server installed and in the Up state. For more information, see Install and configure MID Servers to access cloud environments.
• You have an AWS credential that allows the MID Server to access and make API calls into the AWS environment. For more information, see AWS Access for MID Server.
• You created a custom S3 bucket with necessary access enabled for the IAM roles. For more information, see Setting up an S3 Bucket and Setting up a Policy for accessing the S3 Bucket.

Role required: discovery_admin

Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Because the SSM Run Command console has a 24,000-character limit, results that exceed this limit must be stored in and retrieved from an S3 bucket. For Put File commands, the S3 bucket also serves as a transfer point between the MID Server and the AWS environment, enabling file delivery to target devices via SSM. To configure the MID Server to support these S3-based operations, set the mid.discovery.aws_ssm.s3_bucket_name property to the name of the S3 bucket used for SSM Agent discovery. Then, specify the bucket’s region in the mid.discovery.aws_ssm.s3_bucket_region property.
