Integrating CloudWatch Metrics in Under 60 Minutes

AWS introduced CloudWatch Metric Streams on March 31st, 2021, facilitating the export of CloudWatch metrics data with reduced configuration, management overhead, and costs. This feature allows direct metric streaming to platforms like Observe, utilizing Kinesis Firehose, and significantly lowers costs from $0.01 to $0.003 per 1,000 metrics. Observe capitalizes on this by offering a seamless integration process that requires no proprietary agents or custom code, enabling users to efficiently shape and explore metrics using its OPAL language. This includes filtering EC2-specific metrics, linking them to EC2 Instance Resources, and visualizing them in customizable dashboards. The platform supports various AWS services, allowing data centralization and correlation, enhancing observability and enabling faster, smarter decision-making. With pre-built integrations and the ability to handle diverse data formats, Observe empowers users to achieve comprehensive insight and improve customer satisfaction.
