Hello,

I installed rds\_exporter from the github project and got eveything running in a container image fine but now I’m getting this error

ERRO[0000] Skipping instance \<…\> - can’t determine resourceID. component=sessions source=“sessions.go:125”

I thought that perhaps my access id keys haven’t been setup correctly but I’m not sure on that one as it’s been set to readonly for RDS.

I have multiple instances in my config file, here’s a santized version of what it says

* * *

instances:

- instance:   
region:   
honor\_labels: true  
static\_configs:
- targets:
- 172.17.0.2:\<incremental ports going from 9040-9055\>  
aws\_access\_key: “”  
aws\_secret\_key: “”

Does anyone have any advice?
