The AWS Health service provides continuous visibility into the status of an organization's entire AWS environment, delivering near-real-time alerts in response to changes in resource health. Datadog's new integration with AWS Health allows users to monitor their AWS environment by automatically creating rich, contextual events from the AWS Health API, correlating these events with metrics and events from other infrastructure technologies in one place. The integration captures metadata about affected entities, including AWS account numbers, entity ARNs, and status codes, to create context-rich events in Datadog. This information enables users to quickly troubleshoot issues affecting specific resources throughout their infrastructure and applications. The integration also allows for event alerts based on string matching, tags, and more, enabling near-real-time notifications when AWS is experiencing a problem, which can be used to implement failover solutions and avoid downtime.
