Note

  • For "typeName": "AWS:InstanceInformation", InstanceStatus can be one of the following: Active, ConnectionLost, Stopped, Terminated.

  • With the release of version 2.5, RPM Package Manager replaced the Serial attribute with Epoch. The Epoch attribute is a monotonically increasing integer like Serial. When you inventory by using the AWS:Application type, a larger value for Epoch means a newer version. If Epoch values are the same or empty, then use the value of the Version or Release attribute to determine the newer version.

  • Some metadata is not available from Linux instances. Specifically, for "typeName": "AWS:Network", the following metadata types are not yet supported for Linux instances. They ARE supported for Windows.

    • { "name": "SubnetMask", "dataType": "STRING"},

    • { "name": "DHCPServer", "dataType": "STRING"},

    • { "name": "DNSServer", "dataType": "STRING"},

    • { "name": "Gateway", "dataType": "STRING"},
