Problem

The AWS Toolkit telemetry definitions need to be updated to support tracking console session credentials as part of the Simplified Local Authentication project. This new credential type allows developers to authenticate locally using their active AWS Console sessions.

Learn more: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/11/console-credentials-aws-cli-sdk-authentication/

Background:

  • AWS CLI's new login command and AWS SDK v3's fromLoginCredentials credential provider support console session connections
  • This enables developers to authenticate locally using their active AWS Console sessions
  • Current telemetry definitions don't track this authentication method

Solution

Added 'consoleSessionProfile' to the credentialType allowedValues in commonDefinitions.json to track when users authenticate using console session credentials.

This change:

  • Adds support for tracking console session authentication method
  • Maintains consistency with existing credential type naming patterns
  • Enables proper telemetry collection for the new authentication flow
