Destination reached!
Congratulations on completing this journey! Job well done!
We hope you’ve enjoyed traveling with us as you:
- Learned what the Amazon CloudWatch data source gives you in Grafana
- Prepared the AWS IAM permissions Grafana needs to read metrics and logs
- Added the CloudWatch data source in Grafana Cloud
- Selected the Grafana Assume Role authentication method and set your default region
- Created a trusted IAM role in AWS and configured the Assume Role ARN
- Tested the connection and queried CloudWatch data in Explore
Next, try importing a curated CloudWatch dashboard (Amazon EC2, EBS, Lambda, RDS, or CloudWatch Logs) from the data source’s Dashboards tab, or build your own dashboard on top of your AWS metrics.
