Sharing a CloudWatch dashboard publicly

Follow the steps in this section to share a dashboard publicly. This can be useful to display the dashboard on a big screen in a team room, or embed it in a Wiki page.

Important

Sharing a dashboard publicly makes it accessible to anyone who has the link, with no authentication. Do this only for dashboards that do not contain sensitive information.

Note

By default, any CloudWatch Logs widgets on the dashboard are not visible to people who you share the dashboard with. For more information, see Allowing people that you share with to see logs table widgets.

By default, any composite alarm widgets on the dashboard are not visible to people who you share the dashboard with. For more information, see Allowing people that you share with to see composite alarms.
