Use Default Tag Agent Settings

Now the AWS Injector module is connected to a Kinesis Stream and/or a DynamoDB Database and ready to push Tag data you can click on the "Tag Agents" tab you will see that out-of-the-box the AWS Injector module will have one default Tag Agent defined.  For this tutorial we will not need to make any configuration changes to the Tag Agents.

The Default Tag Agent will monitor tags that are in the "Edge Nodes" folder of the "default" Tag Provider.  In the next step we go into more detail about the tags in this folder.
