Amazon Web Services Monitoring Overview

Starter

Professional

Bleemeo integrates with AWS CloudWatch to fetch metrics from your AWS infrastructure. Resources are automatically discovered across all enabled regions, and dashboards are created for each service type.

Supported Services

Service	Description	Polling Interval
EC2	Instance CPU, network, and EBS disk I/O metrics	5 minutes
RDS	Database CPU, memory, disk, I/O, and connections	1 minute
ELB	Load balancer requests, healthy/unhealthy hosts, and errors (ALB, NLB, Classic)	1 minute
DynamoDB	Table read/write capacity, requests, and throttled events	1 minute
S3	Bucket size and object count	Daily
Lambda	Invocations, errors, duration, throttles, and concurrency	1 minute
Account	AWS Cost Explorer — daily cost, monthly forecast, and savings plan usage	Daily

How It Works

You provide AWS API credentials (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key) in the Bleemeo panel
Bleemeo discovers all resources across your enabled AWS regions
CloudWatch metrics are fetched at regular intervals per service
Dashboards are automatically created for each discovered service type
Metrics are available alongside your other Bleemeo data for custom dashboards and alerting

All resources are automatically discovered — when new instances, databases, or load balancers are created, Bleemeo detects them without additional configuration.

Next Steps

Configuration — set up AWS credentials, IAM permissions, and estimated costs
