Updated Adapters

      • This new checkbox lets you choose whether the primary account permissions should be used when the adapter connections fetch data from AWS.

      • The default value of this checkbox is True.
      • This new checkbox should be disabled only if you want to use the primary account assumed roles permissions instead of the primary account permissions when fetching assets from AWS.

  • Cisco ISE (Connection Configuration) - Added a new Use pxGrid to Fetch Live Sessions field to the Add Connection dialog for this adapter.

    • This new field lets you fetch live session data using the pxGrid service.
    • If enabled, the newly created connection for this adapter will use the pxGrid service to fetch live sessions.

      • If populated, the newly created connection for this adapter will re-ask the Saved Question and wait for the answers to come in (or for the question to expire) before getting the results if the expiration of the last question that was asked for the Saved Question is older than the number supplied here.
      • If not populated, the newly created connection for this adapter will get the most recent results available for the Saved Question.
