Are you interested to get insights from IBM Verify SaaS tenant? IAM-Boards can help you there. It provides a rapid way to obtain metrics and statistics from IBM Verify SaaS so that you can build your dashboards in few minutes.
Overview
Metrics monitor for IBM Verify SaaS is a simple but powerful solution that helps you combat visualisation challenges in an efficient manner.
Organizations depend on strategic monitoring tools to obtain a unified, real time view of their enterprise services. Leading IDaaS platforms like IBM Verify SaaS provide built-in administrative dashboards; however, access is typically restricted to a limited group of users. When monitoring is distributed across fragmented tools, it often leads to siloed insights and potential security blind spots. Additionally, extracting metrics and telemetry data from such platforms usually requires custom development efforts, as out-of-the-box integrations are limited.
Our vision is to offer a cost effective and efficient solution for generating actionable IAM insights. Metrics Monitor for IBM Verify SaaS is a light weight service that securely connects to your IBM Verify SaaS tenant and exposes metrics in a Prometheus compatible format. These metrics can then be seamlessly integrated with your preferred monitoring tool, enabling centralized visibility and enhanced observability. Metrics Monitor for IBM Verify SaaS allow you build dashboards with your strategic monitoring tools
Metrics Monitor for IBM Verify SaaS is not a standalone solution, it requires integration with a Prometheus compatible monitoring tool to visualize the exported metrics. The service supports two operational modes:
- Push Mode: Metrics are pushed to an Amazon Managed Prometheus workspace. In this mode, customers must use a monitoring tool capable of connecting to an Amazon Managed Prometheus data source.
- Pull Mode: Customers deploy and configure their own Prometheus server to scrape metrics from the endpoint exposed by the Metrics Monitor instance. Once the data source is connected, customers can create and tailor dashboards using the monitoring tool of their choice.
Highlights
- Metrics and statistics from IBM Verify SaaS at your disposal
- Bring your own monitoring tool and integrate with IBM Verify SaaS
- No scripts or custom code to extract insights out of IBM Verify SaaS

t3.medium | $0.75 |
t3.small | $0.75 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you run this monitoring software on. Three sizes are available: t3.large, t3.medium, and t3.small. Each size offers a different level of compute capacity, so the hourly rate scales with the resources you choose. You pick one size when you launch, and billing accrues for each hour that instance runs. There are no upfront commitments or fixed terms with this usage-based model.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each option is an AWS EC2 instance size that runs the monitoring software. You pick one size at launch. The size sets the compute capacity available. Billing meters each hour that chosen instance runs. Larger sizes carry more compute and a higher hourly rate.
Hourly software charges accrue only while your chosen instance runs. A fully stopped instance does not accrue software charges. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees, but the software meters running hours only.
You choose a mode at setup. Mode 1 forwards metrics to Amazon Managed Prometheus, which needs an existing workspace. Mode 2 exposes metrics as endpoints with no extra prerequisites. Neither mode changes the billing structure; you still pay the hourly rate for your chosen instance size.

Metrics-Monitor-for-ISV-1.0.0.1
This template provides 1 click deployment option to setup iam-boards service for gathering insights from IBM Verify SaaS tenant. It securely stores all the configuration information into AWS secret manager. This template also provisions objects like IAM role, profile, security group along with a ec2 instance which requires appropriate level of permissions on AWS.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

Usage instructions
Important Notes: Before using this product, you should have an active IBM Verify SaaS tenant (aka ISV). This product extends the capability to monitor IBM Verify SaaS and without it, this product cannot function. Please note that IBM Verify SaaS will require its own license/subscription. This product also requires an ongoing internet connection with your IBM Verify SaaS tenant. IBM Verify SaaS is available on AWS marketplace. For information, please refer https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-zmue2hhq2fkxk
In summary, this product requires following services to function:
- Your own IBM Verify SaaS tenant
- Your own monitoring tool that supports prometheus for visualisation of the metrics.
- Customers are responsible for the use of and ensuring the availability and security of all listed external resources.
Preparation: Gather following information before starting the deployment.
- Type of instance (t3.small, t3.medium or t3.large) - t3.medium is recommended
- Region, target VPC and subnet under that VPC
- Environment identifier (referred as envID here onwards)
- Agent identifier (referred as agentID here onwards)
- Operational mode (with Amazon Managed Prometheus or self hosted Prometheus)
- Workspace re-write URL in case of Amazon Managed Prometheus
- Username, password and CIDR to control access to agent endpoint
- Client id and secret generated on target IBM Verify SaaS tenant NOTE: Client id requires API permissions - manage application lifecycle, read external agents. read webhooks, read certificates, read reports, read users and groups
CloudFormation template: CloudFormation template will provision following AWS resources.
- A Secret (envID_agentID-mm-isv-secret) on AWS Secret Manager to hold configuration and secret data
- A IAM role (envID_agentID-mm-isv-role) and policy (envID_agentID-mm-isv-policy) to allow EC2 access to secret and Amazon Managed Prometheus workspace
- EC2 instance (envID_agentID-mm4isv) to run agent
Deployment: Follow the steps below to setup metric monitoring agent for ISV.
- Launch the product using 1-Click.
- Supply all configuration requested in the form and submit the request.
- Logs can be accessed from http://EC2InstanceIP:9401/agentID/iamboards/logs after successful completion of CloudFormation process.
- Configure monitoring tool, this depends the operational mode chosen at the time of deployment (step 2).
- Mode 1 (Push) - Add Amazon Managed Prometheus workspace as a data source in monitoring tool.
- Mode 2 (Pull) - Configure self hosted prometheus server to /agentID/iamboards/metrics http endpoint of the agent. Add this prometheus as a data source in monitoring tool.
- Build dashboards using the data generated by agent
Health check: EC2 Instance -
- Navigate to Amazon EC2 console and verify that the region is correct.
- Choose instance and select metrics monitor instance (envID_agentID-mm4isv)
- Select the server to display metadata page and choose the status check tab at the bottom of the page to review if status checks passed or failed. Agent service -
- Access health check endpoint http://EC2InstanceIP:9401/health to review agent is healthy or not.
Secret rotation and configuration changes: Follow the steps below to handle change in secret or configuration.
- Access the secret (envID_agentID-mm-isv-secret) and update the required details
- Restart the EC2 instance (envID_agentID-mm4isv) from Amazon EC2 console to apply configuration changes.
Upgrade: There are 2 options to handle upgrade. Option 1 -
- Setup a brand new EC2 instance with latest version and different agentID using 1 click deployment.
- Remove old CloudFormation once new instance is healthy Option 2 -
- Copy user data content from the existing EC2 instance where agent is running
- Create a new EC2 instance with the latest version of product AMI with user data copied from old instance (step1)
- Remove old EC2 instance once new instance is healthy.
