Use Amazon CloudWatch to monitor Amazon WorkSpaces

Posted on: Jul 14, 2015

You can now use Amazon CloudWatch to review metrics for your WorkSpaces using the CloudWatch console, retrieve metrics with CloudWatch APIs, and set up CloudWatch alarms.

You can use CloudWatch metrics to review health and connection metrics for individual WorkSpaces and all WorkSpaces belonging to a directory. You can set up CloudWatch alarms on these metrics to be alerted about changes to WorkSpaces health, or about issues your users may have connecting to their WorkSpaces.

There is no additional cost for using CloudWatch metrics with WorkSpaces, but there may be additional charges for setting up CloudWatch alarms and retrieving CloudWatch metrics via APIs. Please see the CloudWatch pricing page for details.
