AWS post-deployment verification ↗

After you have deployed the authentication template in Amazon Web Services (AWS), verify that it was successfully deployed. In Cortex XSIAM, select Data Sources & Integrations → Cloud Accounts. Verify the following:

• The original cloud instance remains in "Pending" state. For more details on pending instances, see Understand pending instances.
• A new cloud instance appears in the cloud accounts list (separate from the pending instance).
• The new cloud instance shows status "Connected".
• The discovery scan starts automatically for every discovered account.
• Assets appear in the Asset Inventory as discovery progresses.

Troubleshooting AWS onboarding

If no new cloud instance appears:

• Check the CloudFormation stack status in the AWS console. The status should be CREATE_COMPLETE.
• Check the Lambda execution logs in AWS CloudWatch for errors. If the Lambda notification to Cortex XSIAM is not executed, Cortex XSIAM does not create a new cloud instance in Connected stated.
• You can Manually connect an instance to create the instance from the pending cloud instance.
