SiteWise Monitor is a feature of Amazon IoT SiteWise that enables you to create web portals for visualizing and sharing your Amazon IoT SiteWise data with members of your organization. Amazon IoT SiteWise continues to be available, but the Monitor feature is entering maintenance mode.

Note

Amazon IoT SiteWise and Amazon Managed Grafana continue to be fully supported. Only the Amazon IoT SiteWise Monitor feature, the visualization layer, is entering maintenance mode. Your Amazon IoT SiteWise and Amazon Managed Grafana data are not affected.

Migration options

We recommend migrating your Amazon IoT SiteWise Monitor dashboards and visualizations to Amazon Managed Grafana.

Amazon Managed Grafana

Amazon Managed Grafana is a fully managed service for Grafana, a popular open-source analytics platform that enables you to query, visualize, and alert on your metrics, logs, and traces.

To get started with Amazon Managed Grafana, see What is Amazon Managed Grafana? the Amazon Managed Grafana User Guide.
