Get started with Amazon IoT SiteWise Monitor (Classic)

Note

The SiteWise Monitor feature will no longer be open to new customers starting November 7, 2025 . If you would like to use SiteWise Monitor, sign up prior to that date. Existing customers can continue to use the service as normal. For more information, see SiteWise Monitor availability change.

If you're the Amazon administrator for your organization, you create portals from the Amazon IoT SiteWise console. Complete the following steps to create a portal so that members of your organization can view your Amazon IoT SiteWise data:

  1. Configure and create a portal

  2. Add portal administrators and send invitation emails

  3. Add portal users

After you create a portal, the portal administrator can view your Amazon IoT SiteWise assets and assign them to projects in the portal. Project owners can then create dashboards to visualize the properties of the assets that help project viewers understand how your devices, processes, and equipment are performing.

Note

When adding users or administrators to the portal, avoid creating Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies that restrict user permissions, such as limited IP. Any attached policies with restricted permissions will not be able to connect to the Amazon IoT SiteWise portal.

You can follow a tutorial that walks through the steps required to set up a portal with a project, dashboards, and multiple users for a specific scenario using wind farm data. For more information, see Visualize and share wind farm data in SiteWise Monitor.
