Monitor EC2 instances in AWS observability

Grafana AWS observability introduces monitoring for your EC2 instances, all within an embedded experience, and without the need for managing or configuring local agents or building dashboards.

From the list of scrape jobs, you can navigate to your list of EC2 instances shown on the Overview tab, and drill into instance details.

The Regions tab shows the instance count within a selected time frame, and the Rightsizing tab shows disk write and read bytes as well as CPU utilization.

You can use these EC2 pages to:

Filter, sort, and add or remove tags for more focus and granularity.
Uncover anomalies in your data.
Identify instances that do not contain expected tags.
Discover potential issues, such as instances with higher CPU than normal or instances that are about to burst or hit IO limits.
View how your instances scale over a region.
Choose a tag to see how the instance autoscales.
Learn which instances are not fully utilized and should be repacked, and which should be scaled down due to lack of need.
