Disable resource tags on telemetry

If you don't need resource tags for telemetry, disable the feature. When disabled, CloudWatch stops enriching telemetry with tags. You can enable it again at any time. For more information, see Enable resource tags on telemetry.

Verify you have permissions to disable resource tags for telemetry.

Note

To disable resource tags on telemetry, you must be signed in to an IAM principal that has the resource-explorer-2:DeleteStreamingAccessForService permission.
