Using Amazon CloudWatch dashboards hosted by Systems Manager
Amazon CloudWatch dashboards are customizable home pages in the CloudWatch console that you can use to monitor your resources in a single view, even those resources that are spread across different AWS Regions. You can use CloudWatch dashboards to create customized views of the metrics and alarms for your AWS resources. With dashboards, you can create the following:
-
A single view for selected metrics and alarms to help you assess the health of your resources and applications across one or more AWS Regions. You can select the color used for each metric on each graph, so that you can track the same metric across multiple graphs.
-
An operational playbook that provides guidance for team members during operational events about how to respond to specific incidents.
-
A common view of critical resource and application measurements that can be shared by team members for faster communication flow during operational events.
You can create dashboards by using the console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or by using the
CloudWatch PutDashboard API. For more information, see Using Amazon CloudWatch
dashboards in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
