Enable Application Signals on Amazon EC2, Amazon ECS, or Kubernetes

Enable CloudWatch Application Signals on platforms other than Amazon EKS by using the custom setup steps in these sections. On these architectures, you install and configure the CloudWatch agent and AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry yourself.

On these architectures, Application Signals doesn't autodiscover the names of your services or their clusters or hosts. You must specify these names during the custom setup, and the names that you specify are what is displayed on Application Signals dashboards.
