Implementing a Custom AWS CloudWatch Dashboard
CloudWatch is an Amazon Web Services (AWS) service that automatically collects a wide range of performance and health data about your AWS resources. This data is available through an API, and also can be viewed as graphs on the AWS console. However the graphs are located on the separate console pages for each type of resource (e.g. EC2, RDS, load balancer, etc). The dispersed locations make it impossible to have a single dashboard view of multiple AWS resources.
