Summary

AWS CloudWatch now integrates with PagerDuty, enhancing the capabilities of both platforms to monitor and manage IT environments effectively. The integration addresses the needs of the 13% of PagerDuty users who already deploy AWS CloudWatch, facilitating seamless data exchange and incident management. AWS CloudWatch offers extensive resources and monitoring solutions, tracking system metrics to ensure smooth operations and providing detailed statistics on system issues. When CloudWatch alarms are triggered, PagerDuty alerts users with comprehensive details, streamlining the diagnosis and resolution process without needing to access multiple services. Users can customize notification thresholds for over 100 metrics, ensuring timely alerts and efficient incident resolution. The integration operates via a simple notification service (SNS) topic that links CloudWatch data to PagerDuty, enabling rapid communication and action from on-call teams.
