How do I view my IT portfolio in AWS Migration Hub?

In order to view your IT assets in AWS Migration Hub, you perform discovery using an AWS discovery tool or by migrating with an integrated migration tool. Once you’ve performed discovery or started migrating, you can explore your environment from within Migration Hub. You can learn more about any resource found by clicking on the server ID shown on the Servers page of the Migration Hub console. You then see the server details page. If you used an AWS discovery tool to discover your servers, then you will see collected data including technical specifications and average utilization.
How do I add resources into the Discovery Repository?
Discovering Servers and Grouping Applications
AWS Migration Hub | Migration
When you first visit AWS Migration Hub, you are prompted to perform discovery or start migrating. If you decide to start migrating without performing discovery, then your application servers and database servers will appear as resources in the Migration Hub as you migrate them with integrated migration tools that you’ve authorized in the Migration Hub Management Console.
For discovery, you have two data collection options. If you have a VMware environment and prefer not to install an agent, then you can use the AWS Application Discovery Service agentless collector. If you need more detailed information, then you can install agents on your servers that collect a wide variety of information including details about resource utilization, processes running on the server, and the server’s network dependencies. Process and network dependency information is available for export and analysis outside AWS Migration Hub. Please see the Application Discovery Service User Guide for more info on the AWS Discovery Collectors.
How do I group servers into an application?

Before grouping servers into an application, you need to populate AWS Migration Hub’s Servers list. Servers are added to the Servers list whenever you run AWS discovery tools or by using an integrated migration tool. Once your Servers list is populated, select one or more resources on the Servers page in the Migration Hub console and then choose the “Group as Application” button. Applications can also be created using the AWS Application Discovery Service SDK/CLI.
How do I view applications?

You can visit the Applications page in the Migrate section of the AWS Migration Hub console to see the list of applications and their current migration status. Only resources that are grouped to applications using the Discover section’s Servers page or AWS SDK/CLI will appear on the Applications page. Applications can have one of three migration statuses: “not started”, “in-progress”, and “completed”.
