Over the years I have used the #aws #cloudwatch service quite a bit. I used to find myself using the same metrics to create CloudWatch dashboards over and over again for monitoring AWS services. For a while, I used notepad to save the most frequently used metric expressions. It helped me save time recreating them from scratch. This method worked for a while until I had hundreds of different types of CloudWatch queries/metrics. At that point, having them in notepad just became unmanageable. To address this issue, I developed the "CloudWatch Dashboard Builder" tool. The CloudWatch Dashboard Builder lets you build a CloudWatch dashboard template (JSON) out of different AWS namespaces. It also gives you the ability to then either create the dashboard directly through the tool or copy the JSON and create the dashboard through the CLI or the AWS Console. The open-source version of the tool now also includes AWS SQL query expressions for #cloudwatch metrics. So, you now have the ability to build CloudWatch dashboards for AWS metrics using SQL query expressions. The tool uses a namespace template, which you can modify to suit your needs. The post below shows you how to use it, and also where to download it. This tool is useful for anyone into SRE, Performance Engineering/Testing or Operations. And works with AWS services. I plan on extending the code to include other Cloud Providers such as #Azure and #Google. Also current version is limited to time-series graph but future version of the tool will include other types of graphs too. #aws #awscommunity #opensource #sre #observability #performanceengineering #performancetesting #monitoring #ozperf
