AWS – Now in GA: Accelerate troubleshooting with Amazon CloudWatch investigations
Now generally available, Amazon CloudWatch helps you accelerate operational investigations across your AWS environment in just a fraction of the time. With a deep understanding of your AWS cloud environment and resources, CloudWatch investigations use an AI agent to look for anomalies in your environment, surface related signals, identify root-cause hypotheses, and suggest remediation steps, significantly reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR).
This new CloudWatch investigations capability works alongside you throughout your operational troubleshooting journey from issue triage through remediation. You can initiate an investigation by selecting the Investigate action on any CloudWatch data widget across the AWS Management Console. You can also start investigations from more than 80 AWS consoles, configure to auto trigger from a CloudWatch alarm action, or initiate from an Amazon Q chat. The new investigation experience in CloudWatch allows teams to collaborate and add findings, view related signals and anomalies, and review suggestions for potential root cause hypotheses. This new capability also provides remediation suggestions for common operational issues across your AWS environment by surfacing relevant AWS Systems Manager Automation runbooks, AWS re:Post articles, and documentation. It also integrates with popular communication channels such as Slack and Microsoft Teams.
The Amazon CloudWatch investigations capability is available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (Spain), and Europe (Stockholm).
The CloudWatch investigations capability is now generally available at no additional cost. It was previously launched in preview as Amazon Q Developer operational investigations. To learn more, see getting started and best practice documentation.
