aws-observability

AWS observability planning configures metrics, logs, and traces across CloudWatch, X-Ray, and CloudTrail. It provides guidance for setting up dashboards, alarms, and auditing workflows within single or multi-account AWS environments.

Migrating X-Ray tracing to OpenTelemetry requires setting up ADOT and configuring sampling rules. The system provides specific migration guidance from X-Ray to OpenTelemetry, including trace configuration and sampling rule adjustments.

Writing CloudWatch Logs Insights queries and creating custom metrics uses Embedded Metric Format (EMF) or PutMetricData API calls. The system guides configuring these queries, custom metrics, and associated alarms across AWS services.

Multi-account AWS observability requires AWS credentials with IAM permissions specifically granting access to CloudWatch, X-Ray, and CloudTrail. These permissions are necessary to configure cross-account observability patterns and auditing integrations.

Configuring CloudWatch composite and anomaly detection alarms across AWS services is fully supported. The system guides setting up metric alarms, composite alarms, and anomaly detection alongside dashboards and custom metrics.

Missing X-Ray traces in CloudWatch often relate to sampling rules or IAM permission issues. The system supports operational debugging workflows for tracing setup, ADOT configuration, and resolving cross-account observability troubleshooting.
