-------------------
- Changes to issue score in code will now cause all existing issues to be re-scored in the database.
- A new configuration parameter called SECURITYGROUP\_INSTANCE\_DETAIL can now be set to:
- "FULL": Security Groups will display each instances, and all instance tags, that are associated with the security group.
- "SUMMARY": Security Groups will display the number of instances attached to the security group.
- "NONE": Security Groups will not retrieve any data about instances attached to a security group.
- If SECURITY\_GROUP\_INSTANCE\_DETAIL is set to "FULL" or "SUMMARY", empty security groups audit issues will have their score set to zero.
- For accounts with many thousands of instances, it is advised to set this to "NONE" as the AWS API's do not respond in a timely manner with that many instances.
- Each watcher can be set to run at a different interval in code. We will want to move this to be a UI setting.
- Watchers may specify a list of ephemeral paths. Security\_monkey will not send out change alerts for items in the ephemeral section. This is a good place for metadata that is often changing like the number of instances attached to a security\_group or the number of remaining IP addresses in a VPC subnet.
