CloudWatch Application Signals adds context for troubleshooting
Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals now integrates infrastructure, logs, and traces directly into its service overview and application map. This enhancement allows operators to triage unhealthy services and inspect underlying compute, log snippets, and trace details within a single interface, reducing the need to switch between tools for root cause analysis. These capabilities are available for workloads on Amazon EKS, ECS, Lambda, and EC2 in all supported AWS Regions.

- Service health ranking and context tabs on application map
The application map now ranks services by health, displaying runtime indicators for Amazon EKS, ECS, Lambda, and EC2. A new infrastructure tab provides details on the compute environment, components, and curated metrics with links to monitoring tools.
- Infrastructure, logs, and traces tabs on service overview
The service overview page now includes dedicated tabs for infrastructure, logs, and traces. This allows operators to identify issues within the context of their application by drilling into compute environments, error-producing log snippets, and transaction details.
Enhancements (1) ›
- Faster root cause analysis for distributed applications
By consolidating infrastructure, log, and trace data, operators can now move from identifying a symptom to finding the root cause within minutes, rather than hours, all without leaving Application Signals.

- Availability and scope of new features
These capabilities are available for workloads running on Amazon EKS, Amazon ECS, AWS Lambda, and Amazon EC2. They are deployed in all AWS Regions where Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals is currently supported.
