AWS services where investigations are supported
Note
The Amazon Q Developer operational investigations feature is in preview release and is subject to change. It is currently available only in the US East (N. Virginia) Region.
You can launch investigations from telemetry data (such as CloudWatch metrics, alarms, and logs), review generated anomaly signals, and explore hypotheses on investigations. Amazon Q Developer operational investigations work best when helping you with automated troubleshooting guidance on the AWS services listed below:
Amazon EC21
Amazon ECS on Amazon EC22
Amazon ECS on Fargate2
Amazon EKS2
Amazon DynamoDB
Amazon S3
Amazon EBS1
Lambda
Amazon Kinesis Data Streams
Amazon Data Firehose
Amazon API Gateway
Amazon SQS
Amazon SNS
The list of services will continue to be expanded over time. Amazon Q Developer operational investigations utilizes a wide range of data sources to determine dependency relationships and plan analysis paths, including telemetry data configurations, service configurations, and observed relationships through CloudWatch Application Signals and X-Ray. Where none of the above is available, Amazon Q Developer operational investigations will attempt to infer dependency relationships through co-occurring telemetry anomalies.
Best practice setup
While Amazon Q Developer operational investigations will continue to analyze telemetry data and provide suggestions without the following features enabled, in order to ensure optimal quality and performance for Amazon Q Developer operational investigations, we highly recommend to complete the following steps:
1For both Amazon EC2 and Amazon EBS, update your CloudWatch agent to version 1.30049.1 or later. For more information, see Collect metrics, logs, and traces with the CloudWatch agent.
2For both Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS, enable CloudWatch Container Insights. For more information, see Container Insights.
We recommend that you enable CloudWatch Application Signals and X-Ray. For more information, see Application Signals and What is AWS X-Ray.
