AWS helps streamline your cloud operations and reduce MTTR

Accelerate operational investigations

With a deep understanding of your AWS cloud environment and resources, Amazon CloudWatch works alongside you to investigate issues. It looks for anomalies in your environment and presents you with potential root-cause hypotheses. It suggests remediation actions for common AWS issues by surfacing relevant AWS Systems Manager automation runbooks and documentation.

Simplify operational and security analytics

Get real-time analysis of logs and security data without data duplication. Leverage an integrated analytics experience between Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon Security Lake with Amazon OpenSearch Service for insight into observability and security data. Zero-ETL integration scales with your actual usage and data processing needs, reducing infrastructure, development, and maintenance.

Query and analyze log data in Amazon CloudWatch using OpenSearch Service Piped Processing Language (PPL) and OpenSearch SQL without complex data pipelines. Amazon CloudWatch customers can accelerate troubleshooting with out-of-the-box curated dashboards for AWS services like Amazon VPC, AWS CloudTrail, and AWS WAF. You can also access advanced Amazon OpenSearch Service analytics and visualization capabilities without changing your setup for Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

HENNGE

"The integration between Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon OpenSearch Service has been a game-changer for us! Our teams were already comfortable using OpenSearch Piped Processing Language (PPL) and SQL, so the learning curve for using PPL/SQL in Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights was minimal. We’re able to troubleshoot faster, and the dashboards make it easy to spot trends and potential issues from our logs. This means less time digging through data and more time focusing on what matters. "
