Viewing AWS resource telemetry in CloudWatch
Telemetry config displays AWS resources in two ways: An overview in the Telemetry config page and in detail in the Discovered resources page.
Telemetry config – This page shows the percentage of resources with telemetry configured for each resource type and the quantity of resources detected as providing metrics and the total number of resources in your account or AWS Organization. You can filter the display of resources in the Telemetry config page by account ID or tags applied to them.
The Discovered resources – This page shows details about each resource discovered by telemetry config, including the resource ID, the type of telemetry each resource is providing, and the time when the resource was last refreshed by telemetry config. You can filter the display of resource in the Discovered resources page by any of the information provided about the resource.
For each AWS resource tracked by telemetry config, the discovered resources page shows the status of its telemetry as follows:
For telemetry types that CloudWatch detects the resource is providing, the discovered resource view shows On.
For telemetry types that CloudWatch detects the resource is not providing, the discovered resources view shows Off.
For telemetry types that are not supported for a resource, the discovered resources view shows NS (not supported).
