## mon_extended

This was formerly `mon_enabled`. We have changed it because of confusion on what is meant by the tag use within Datadog.

This is `OPTIONAL` for resources of type EC2 or Lammbda. It is a way to enable monitor data caputuring by Datadog _only_. Every
AWS account integration with Datadog will *not* consume additional logging licenses for EC2 and Lambda. To obtain the additional
monitoring of EC2 and Lambda, one must add this tag `mon_extended=true` to the resource (EC2, Lambda).

### Format

The tag name is all lowercase, and *must* be set to `mon_extended`.

### Values

Datadog only cares about `mon_extended=true`. Any other value means _false_. Oomiting the tag is the better way of indicating
this additional monitoring is not enabled.

| Value | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| true | This enables collection of additional metrics by Datadog from EC2 and Lambda only |
| false | No additional monitoring from metrics for Datadog for EC2 and Lambda |
| (anything else) | Equivalent to _false_ |
