AWS CloudWatch alarms dashboard

Dashboard snapshot

Dashboard walkthrough

This dashboard provides an overview of the current state of AWS Alarms for your connected account. It allows you to quickly view multiple alarms without the need to navigate through the AWS console or grant additional permissions.

By selecting a specific alarm from a dropdown variable, you can access its history and properties – displaying the alarm's history on the left and its properties on the right. This streamlined access is particularly beneficial for support roles, enabling them to monitor alert statuses and histories efficiently without logging into AWS.

The dashboard not only speeds up data access but also reduces security risks by minimizing the need for additional AWS users. By consolidating pertinent alerts into a single view, it makes it easier for teams to watch for recoveries and respond promptly.

Dashboard authors can further customize this tool to focus on specific alarms within dedicated dashboards, enhancing usability and relevance for different user groups.
