Use without aws permissions #37

Closed taraspos closed 7 years ago

Hey, as far as I see from code AWS IAM permissions ec2:DescribeInstances only to read instance tags.

But even if I don't use tags in the message plugin still needs the IAM Permission, would be much better if it is required only when you use the tags in messages.

Unless you use tagset_* in your configuration, the plugin doesn't use EC2 client and IAM permissions are not necessary.
