Building CloudWatch Dashboards

Learn how to create, customize, and share CloudWatch dashboards to visualize metrics from across your AWS infrastructure in one place.

What Is a Dashboard?

A CloudWatch dashboard is a customizable home page that gathers graphs and widgets from many services into a single view.

Instead of hunting through console pages, your whole system health is on one screen.

Widgets Overview

Dashboards are built from widgets:

  • Line and stacked area for time series
  • Number for a single latest value
  • Gauge for thresholds
  • Text for notes and links
