Today, we are excited to announce the launch of three new AWS Systems Manager widgets on Console Home. Customers can now view their operational status as soon as they sign in and take necessary action to remediate operational issues with one-click access to AWS Systems Manager features.

You can access the new Systems Manager widgets on Console Home, which include Managed instances, Patch compliance and Ops summary. The Managed instances widget provides insights into the visibility and control you have on your AWS resources; you can view the number and percentage of EC2 instances that you are managing using AWS Systems Manager and identify EC2 instances that are not managed by Systems Manager. You can use the Patch compliance widget to view the total number of unpatched instances by severity and trends in patch compliance over time. The Ops summary widget provides summary of your operational issues by severity. You can use the expanded view of the Ops summary widget to see status by category, including availability, cost, performance, security and recovery.

These widgets are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Ireland), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Europe (Stockholm), Middle East (Bahrain), Middle East (UAE), and South America (Sao Paulo).

You can access these Systems Manager widgets on Console Home by signing into the AWS Management Console. You can add Managed instances, Patch compliance and Ops summary widgets from the widget library.
