T-QuickSight Launch Instructions

• Launch “Easy Cloud Traffic, T-QuickSight” instance via 1-click. Wait approximately 4 minutes for the instance to initialize.
  
• The instance requires a 2nd network interface to receive mirrored traffic. Create a 2nd network interface and attach it to the instance as follows:
  1. In the Amazon EC2 Console, select Security Groups under Network & Security.
     
  2. Click Create security group, and create a new security group in the same VPC as the instance. Add a single Inbound rule allowing all traffic from any source, and delete any Outbound rules.
     
  3. In the EC2 Console, select Network Interfaces under Network & Security. Click Create network interface, and create a new network interface using a subnet in the same availability zone as the instance, and the security group created in the previous step.
     
  4. Select the new network interface and choose Attach from the Actions menu to attach the interface to the instance.
     
• Create a traffic mirror session, and specify the new interface as a mirror target.
  1. In the VPC Console, select Mirror Targets under Traffic Mirroring.
     
  2. Click Create traffic mirror target and create a traffic mirror target using the 2nd network interface that you attached to the instance in a previous step.
     
  3. Select Mirror Filters under Traffic Mirroring. Click Create traffic mirror filter and create a traffic mirror filter that accepts all inbound and all outbound traffic.
     
  4. Select Mirror Sessions under Traffic Mirroring. Click Create traffic mirror session and create a traffic mirror session using the mirror target and mirror filter that you just created. Set Mirror source to be a network interface of any resource that you want to monitor.
