CloudAware Tag Analyzer allows you to review your tagging coverage across all clouds and tag your resources directly from CloudAware account.

Requirements


AWS

To tag your AWS resources from CloudAware, download CloudAware Tagging policy: Admin → AWS Accounts → ADD AMAZON ACCOUNT → Using Access & Secret Keys → select Tagging in 'Please use one of those'. Review and apply the policy.


Azure

To tag your Azure resources from CloudAware, create a custom role in your Azure portal using CLI or Rest API. The role should include a 'modify' permission granted for all resource types (e.g. Azure Virtual Machine) you would like to be able to tag in CloudAware. Assign the role to CloudAware.


GCP

Billing Tags: Google Cloud Platform does not provide the cost data split by instance out of the box. In order for CloudAware to display the cost on an instance level, every GCE instance in your environment needs to have a tag (e.g. “instance-name: actual-name-of-this-instance”) applied.


Tag Analyzer



1. Log in to your CloudAware account → Tag Analyzer


2. Select a cloud provider. Pick the object type from the list (e.g. AWS EC2 Instances).



3. Review the column 'Not Tagged Objects'. Click the number of objects to drill down into Objects Explorer.



4. Select resources a tag to be applied to and click TAG AWS EC2 INSTANCES.



5. Review the existing tags. Click + ADD TAG to apply a new tag.



New tags and their values will immediately appear in your AWS Console.


More options for tagging



You can also access Tag Analyzer using:


  • list views (e.g. Running Instances for AWS EC2 Instance) selecting the instance under question


  • the tab 'DETAILS' on a resource (see MORE → TAG AWS EC2 INSTANCES)


  • the tab 'TAGS' on a resource →  + ADD TAG


No Tags vs. Tags with empty values


In cases when tags with bank values are applied in AWS Console, Cloudaware Tag Analyzer may detect them as Tagged Objects showing empty values. You can create two list views to observe the difference.


CloudAware Navigator →  AWS EC2 Instances → Custom Views (on the left) → + (Create New View) → Query Mode → copy the queries below → Save View




No Tag (replace TAGNAME with your Tag Name)

`Deleted From AWS` equals null and `Tags JSON`[$["TAGNAME"]] equals null -> 
`Instance Name or ID`, `Account`.`Account Name` as "Account", `Application Tier`.`Application`.`Name` as "Application", `Tags JSON`[$["TAGNAME"]] as "Tag: 'TAGNAME'", `Tags`


Tag <Name> is empty (replace TAGNAME with your Tag Name)

`Deleted From AWS` equals null and `Tags JSON`[$["TAGNAME"]] equals '' -> 
`Instance Name or ID`, `Account`.`Account Name` as "Account", `Application Tier`.`Application`.`Name` as "Application", `Tags JSON`[$["TAGNAME"]] as "Tag: 'TAGNAME'", `Tags JSON`
