Step 2: Create a project

Now that you've signed in to the AWS Management Console, you can use the Amazon Monitron console to create your project.

To create a project

  1. Choose the AWS Region that you want to use in the Region selector. Amazon Monitron is available only in the US East (N. Virginia), Europe (Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Sydney) Regions.

    Dropdown menu showing AWS region options including US East, US West, and their corresponding codes.

  2. Open the Amazon Monitron console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/monitron.

  3. Choose Create project.

    Getting started dialog box with a link to documentation and a Create project button.

  4. Under Project Details, for Project name, enter a name for the project.

  5. (Optional) Under Data encryption, you can check Custom encryption settings (advanced) if you have an AWS KMS key in AWS Key Management Service. Amazon Monitron encrypts all data at rest and in transit. If you don't provide your own CMK, your data is encrypted by a CMK that Amazon Monitron owns and manages.

    For more information about encryption for your project, see KMS and Data Encryption in Amazon Monitron.

  6. (Optional) To add a tag to the project, enter a key-value pair under Tags and then choose Add tag.

    For more information about tags, see Tags in Amazon Monitron.

  7. Choose Next to create the project.

    Project details form with project name field and data encryption information.

When you create your first project, the owner of the AWS account will get an email from AWS Organizations. No action needs to be taken based on this email.
