Viewing overview information about an application
In Application Manager, a component of Amazon Systems Manager, the Overview tab displays a summary of Amazon CloudWatch alarms, operational work items (OpsItems), CloudWatch Application Insights, and runbook history. Choose View all for any card to open the corresponding tab where you can view all application insights, alarms, OpsItems, or runbook history.
About Application Insights
CloudWatch Application Insights identifies and sets up key metrics, logs, and alarms across your application resources and technology stack. Application Insights continuously monitors metrics and logs to detect and correlate anomalies and errors. When the system detects errors or anomalies, Application Insights generates CloudWatch Events that you can use to set up notifications or take actions. If you choose the Edit configuration button on the Monitoring tab, the system opens the CloudWatch Application Insights console. For more information about Application Insights, see What is Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
About Cost Explorer
Application Manager is integrated with Amazon Cost Explorer, a feature of Amazon Cost Management, through the Cost widget and Cost tab. After you enable Cost Explorer in the Cost Management console, the Cost widget and Cost tab in Application Manager shows cost data for a specific non-container application or application component. You can use filters in the widget, or tab, to view cost data according to different time periods, levels of granularity, and cost types in either a bar or line chart.
You can enable this feature by choosing the Go to Amazon Cost Management console button. By default, the data is filtered to the past three months. For a non-container application, if you choose the View all button, Application Manager opens the Resources tab. For container applications, the View all button opens the Amazon Cost Explorer console.
