About AWS CloudWatch

Amazon CloudWatch is AWS's unified monitoring and observability service, collecting metrics, logs, events, and traces from AWS resources, containerized workloads, Lambda functions, and on-premises servers. CloudWatch powers auto-scaling policies, operational dashboards, alarm-triggered runbooks, and Logs Insights anomaly detection across AWS infrastructure. CloudWatch outages reduce visibility into AWS workloads and can silence critical production alerts at exactly the wrong moment. Track live Amazon CloudWatch status by region and monitor CloudWatch incident history here.

FAQ

Is AWS CloudWatch down right now?

PulsAPI checks AWS CloudWatch status continuously. The current status is shown at the top of this page and updates every 60 seconds from the official AWS CloudWatch status page.

What should I do if my system is impacted by a AWS CloudWatch outage?

If AWS CloudWatch is down, report the issue above to inform the community, check the incident timeline for resolution updates from the AWS CloudWatch team, and activate any graceful degradation your application supports while waiting for recovery.

How do I check AWS CloudWatch uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks AWS CloudWatch uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The 30-day uptime metric is shown in the sidebar on this page. Sign up for a free account to access the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline.

How fast does PulsAPI detect AWS CloudWatch outages?

PulsAPI polls the AWS CloudWatch official status page every 60 seconds and delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds from detection — faster than most engineers check manually.

Can I get alerts when AWS CloudWatch goes down?

Yes. Sign up for PulsAPI and subscribe to AWS CloudWatch. You'll receive instant alerts via email (free), or Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks on paid plans — whenever AWS CloudWatch status changes.

How do I report a AWS CloudWatch issue to the community?

Click the "Report an issue" button at the top of this page. Select the issue type, severity, and optionally your region and a note. Community reports are anonymous and help other engineers detect outages before the official status page updates — which typically lags real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Does PulsAPI track individual AWS CloudWatch components?

Yes, where AWS CloudWatch exposes component data. The components section above shows each tracked AWS CloudWatch component and its current status. Component-level granularity lets you pinpoint exactly which part of AWS CloudWatch is affected — not just a generic "service degraded" banner.

Is there a free way to monitor AWS CloudWatch?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 10 monitored services with email alerts and a 15-day free trial — no credit card required. You can monitor AWS CloudWatch alongside up to 9 other services for free. Sign up at pulsapi.com/signup to get started.
