Diagnosing console errors with the AWS assistant
With the AWS assistant, you can diagnose common console errors. Examples include missing permissions, incorrect settings, and exceeded service quotas. It supports errors in the following services:
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
AWS Lambda
AWS Step Functions
It also diagnoses IAM permission errors on all console pages and some service-specific errors in other services.
This capability is available only in the AWS Management Console. The AWS assistant doesn't keep a history of earlier diagnosis sessions.
Required permissions
Your IAM identity needs permission to diagnose console errors. For an example policy, see Allow users to diagnose console errors.
