Capabilities and services for your observability needs
See everything in one place
Get a unified view of your generative AI agents, applications, workloads, and the infrastructure that powers them. CloudWatch connects metrics, logs, and traces to help you quickly understand relationships, spot performance bottlenecks, and uncover hidden dependencies—without jumping between tools.
Simplify operations
Improve operational efficiency with built-in insights for databases, containers, and serverless such as Lambda—no need to build from scratch. CloudWatch also integrates with popular open-source monitoring and observability solutions like Prometheus and Grafana, plus it supports OpenTelemetry standards, giving you the flexibility to use the best approach for your needs.
Let AI help you
Find and resolve issues with AI-powered CloudWatch investigations and Anomaly Detection. Ask questions in plain English to quickly search logs and metrics—natural language query transforms your questions into precise queries automatically. Connect your own agents directly to your CloudWatch data through Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for integration with your existing AI workflows. Start troubleshooting from wherever you work.
Troubleshoot smarter, not harder
Get analytics and insights your way with flexible capabilities that deliver intelligence wherever you need it. Choose out-of-the-box dashboards, build custom queries with plain English or popular languages such as SQL, or access embedded insights that surface automatically within your workflow.
Capabilities
Operate intelligently with AIOps
Transform how you identify, investigate, and resolve operational issues with AIOps capabilities. Rapidly diagnose complex problems across your AWS environment using AI-powered root cause analysis through CloudWatch investigations, or create tailored workflows through supporting capabilities such as MCP servers and Strands Agent SDK.
Navigate interconnected operational data using simple conversational questions. Surface critical patterns, interpret anomalies, and generate actionable summaries in seconds. Whether investigating performance degradation, analyzing trends, or responding to incidents, CloudWatch AIOps features can make it easy.
Monitor generative AI workloads
Monitor generative AI workloads for complete visibility across components, including models, agents, and tools. Gain built-in insights into latency, token usage, and errors across Amazon Bedrock AgentCore capabilities such as Built-in Tools, Gateways, Memory, and Identity to quickly detect and resolve issues. Accelerate AI innovation and maintain customer trust leveraging the compatibility with open-source agentic frameworks, such as LangChain, and AWS-native features.
See your full stack in one place
Monitor your entire environment—from infrastructure and applications to real users and synthetic tests—all in one place. Amazon CloudWatch provides a unified observability solution that simplifies monitoring, consolidates tools, and accelerates troubleshooting across workloads.
Instrument once
Simplify instrumentation and maintain vendor flexibility with support for OpenTelemetry. Collect, process, and export metrics, logs, and traces from any environment using open standards. Integrate with both open-source and AWS-native observability tools for consistent, end-to-end visibility.
Monitor workloads anywhere
Monitor your workloads hosted on AWS, on premises, and on other clouds by ingesting telemetry data using the OpenTelemetry-compatible CloudWatch agent. Ingestion charges are the same whether data originates in AWS or elsewhere.
