Viewing discovered dependencies - AWS Resilience Hub

Viewing discovered dependencies

After dependency discovery is enabled, you can view a table of discovered dependencies with the following columns:

Column Description
Dependency name Identified name or domain name (for example, "LaunchDarkly" or "api.stripe.com")
Type AWS service, third-party, or internal
Location Where the dependency is hosted (for example, AWS us-east-1, Azure us-central, or RFC1918)
Criticality Hard or soft – user-assigned classification
Query frequency Visualization of query volume over time
First seen When the dependency was first discovered
Last seen Most recent query to this dependency

Dependency timeline

The dependency timeline shows when each dependency was first discovered and its activity over time. Select any dependency to view the underlying domain names and destination IP addresses. Usage frequency is available over the past 35 days, shown at hourly detail for single-day windows or daily detail for weekly windows.

Compute resource attribution

Next generation Resilience Hub attributes discovered dependencies to the specific compute resources – such as Amazon EC2 instances, Lambda functions, or containers – that make DNS queries to those dependencies. You can filter the dependency list by service (when viewing at the system level), criticality (hard, soft, or unclassified), type (AWS service, third-party, or internal), or location (AWS, third-party, or internal).
