Viewing Amazon resource telemetry in CloudWatch
Telemetry configuration displays Amazon resources in two places: As an overview, on the Telemetry config page and in detail, on the Discovered resources page.
Telemetry config – This page shows the percentage of resources with telemetry that are configured for each resource type and the number of resources detected as providing metrics, as well as the total number of resources in your account or organization. You can filter the display of resources in the Telemetry config page by account ID or by the tags applied to your resources.
Discovered resources – This page shows details about each resource that has been discovered by telemetry configuration, including the resource ID, the type of telemetry each resource is providing, and the time when information about the resource was last refreshed by telemetry configuration. You can filter the display of resource on the Discovered resources page by any of the information provided about the resource.
For each Amazon resource tracked by telemetry configuration, the Discovered resources page shows the status of its telemetry by providing the following information:
For telemetry types that CloudWatch detects that the resource is providing, the Discovered resources page shows On.
For telemetry types that CloudWatch detects the resource is not providing, the Discovered resources page shows Off.
For telemetry types that are not supported for a resource, the Discovered resources page shows NS, that is, not supported.
