Resolving tag-sync errors

Adding resources in myApplications

Adding resources to your applications allows you to group them and manage their security, performance, and compliance. You can add resources to existing applications by searching for them and selecting them or by using existing tags and performing a tag-sync.

Search and select resources
To search and select resources

  1. Open the AWS Management Console.

  2. In the left sidebar of the console, choose myApplications.

  3. Search for and select an application.

  4. Choose Manage resources.

  5. Choose Add resources.

  6. (Optional) Choose a view.

  7. Search for your resources. You can search by keyword, name or type, or choose a resource type.

    Note

    If you can't find the resource you're looking for, troubleshoot with AWS Resource Explorer. For more information, see Troubleshooting Resource Explorer search issues in the Resource Explorer User Guide.

  8. Select the checkbox next to the resources you want to add.

  9. Choose Add.

Automatically add resources using tags

When you create an application, you can bulk-onboard resources by specifying an existing tag key-value pair. With this method, AWS automatically applies the awsApplication tag to all of the resources, and creates a tag-sync for the application’s resources by default. With tag-sync enabled, any resources that are tagged with the specified tag key-value pair are automatically added to the application.

To add resources using existing tags

  1. Open the AWS Management Console.

  2. In the left sidebar of the console, choose myApplications.

  3. Choose Manage resources.

  4. Choose Create tag-sync.

  5. Select an existing tag key and value:

    1. Select the Role used to tag resources. For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/overview-appreg.html#tag-sync-role in the AWS Service Catalog AppRegistry Administrator Guide.

    2. Select a Tag key.

    3. Select a Tag value.

    4. Review and accept the I acknowledge that Group Lifecycle Events will be enabled to create a tag sync notice. GLE allows AWS to notice changes to the resources tagged with your key-value pair.

  6. Choose Create tag sync.

Resolving tag-sync errors

This section describes common tag-sync errors and how to resolve them. After attempting to resolve the error, you can retry the failed tag-sync task.

  • Insufficient permissions — You do not have the required minimum permissions to start, update, or cancel the tag-sync. Review Tag-sync required permissions for more information. After ensuring the role you specify to perform the tag-sync has the minimum required permissions, retry the failed tag-sync task.

  • Already exists — A task with this tag key-value pair already exists for this application. An application can support more than one tag-sync, but each tag-sync must have a different tag key-value pair. After you specify a different tag key-value pair, retry the failed tag-sync task.

  • Maximum limit reached — You have reached the maximum of 100 tag-sync tasks per account, across all applications.
