Clinv

What is it?

Clinv was created by my good friend and could be found here. Beware, the documentation is very bare but I am working on adding content based off of my use case for no0bs. Clinv was created to asset inventory on AWS.

Current Issue

I need to connect clinv to my aws. But how to do that? One must first download aws cli. More information can be found here.

Running aws configure will have me at a prompt in which I will use my AWS credentials for the IAM key. The IAM key can be found within your security settings of your aws account.The password only shows once - so you will want to do it that one time. If you have forgotten the password, simply create a new one and add into aws configure or amend your /.aws/config file.

To connect clinv with the recently created aws cli run clinv update to update and this will show you a layout of the items you have connected to your amazon.

Clinv troubleshooting:

My clinv update was not working so I needed to see the error. The output said that it was with the region not connecting. I needed to check my aws configure file. To do that I typed cd .aws from there I ran ls which showed me the contents of the .aws directory, within there I saw the config file. There I opened and realized I had Region: US East (N. Virginia) us-east-1. The region needed to be: us-east-1

Once that was changed I reran clinv update and it worked! Clinv was connected to my aws.
