Pivoting from a profile panel to another console

For EC2 instances, IAM users, and IAM roles, you can navigate directly from the details profile panel to the corresponding console. The information available from the console can provide additional input for your security investigation.

On the EC2 instance details profile panel, the EC2 instance identifier is linked to the Amazon EC2 console.

On the User details profile panel, the user name is linked to the IAM console.

On the Role details profile panel, the role name is linked to the IAM console.

Pivoting from a profile panel to another entity profile

When a profile panel contains an identifier of a different entity, it is usually a link to that entity profile. The exceptions are the links to the Amazon EC2 and IAM consoles on the EC2 instance, IAM users, and IAM roles profiles. See Pivoting from a profile panel to another console.

For example, from a list of IP addresses, you might be able to display the profile for a specific IP address. That way you can see if there is any other information available to help you to complete your investigation.
