AWS CloudWatch
Connect AWS CloudWatch to give Herald’s SRE agent real-time access to your logs and metrics. During incident investigations, the agent can query log streams, list available metrics, and pull metric statistics directly from your AWS environment.
The agent can:
- Fetch log events from specific CloudWatch log groups and streams
- List available metrics across namespaces
- Get metric statistics (average, sum, min, max) for any metric over a time window
