We will again use "TestSetting" as it must only be unique among DynamoDB Settings.  For the AWS credentials, you will need to enter your Access Key and Secret Key used to authenticate to your AWS account as well as the region that your DynamoDB Database is in.  The Set can be left as Default.  Finally, the Table Name will be the name of the DynamoDB Table that you wish to connect to.  For example, this is shown below in the AWS DynamoDB console.

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.

With Ignition running and the AWS Injector module loaded and configured we can now open the Ignition Designer to create/observe the initial Tag structure.  Regardless of the OS Ignition is running on, there is a “Launch Designer” button on the Ignition Gateway Console. From here you can launch your Designer on any machine.  This is shown below.  The default credentials for the designer are the same as the Gateway Console, admin/password.

This folder will contain both information tags about the module's version and state, as well as control tags for refreshing the module and it's Tag Agents.

Next, we need to create a folder structure where we will create a virtual Edge device and some tags to be sent by the AWS Injector module.  When the AWS Injector module is installed in Ignition, a folder is automatically created in the Ignition tag structure with the following path:
