Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers about visualizing AWS CloudWatch Metrics data in Amazon Quicksight automatically

How do I connect AWS CloudWatch Metrics to Amazon Quicksight without writing code?
Start by adding AWS CloudWatch Metrics as a data source in your Kondado account and authenticate with your AWS credentials. Then select Amazon Quicksight as your destination and choose which pipelines to activate, such as Métricas (Incremental) or Métricas (Janela Móvel). Kondado handles the data replication automatically, delivering your metrics directly to Quicksight without requiring any technical setup or intermediate storage.
What is the difference between the Incremental and Moving Window pipelines for CloudWatch data?
The Métricas (Incremental) pipeline replicates only new metrics collected since the last execution, making it ideal for tracking ongoing performance trends and building historical dashboards. The Métricas (Janela Móvel) pipeline retrieves data within a specific rolling time window you configure, which helps analyze recent incidents or compare performance across specific periods. Choose Incremental for comprehensive historical tracking or Moving Window for focused troubleshooting analysis.
How frequently can I update my CloudWatch metrics dashboards in Quicksight?
Kondado offers flexible scheduling options ranging from every five minutes to daily updates, allowing you to match data refresh rates with your operational needs. Critical production systems might benefit from near-real-time updates every five or fifteen minutes, while cost analysis dashboards may only require daily refreshes. You can adjust these schedules anytime to balance insight freshness with your monitoring requirements.
What infrastructure KPIs can I track using CloudWatch data in Quicksight?
You can visualize essential metrics including CPU utilization, memory consumption, network traffic, disk I/O, and application response times across your EC2 instances and other AWS services. Create unified dashboards that correlate resource performance with business events, enabling you to identify bottlenecks during peak usage, optimize instance sizing for cost efficiency, and validate infrastructure scaling decisions with concrete visual data.
Can I share CloudWatch monitoring dashboards with team members who don't have AWS access?
Yes, once your data reaches Amazon Quicksight, you can distribute reports to stakeholders using Quicksight's native sharing features without granting them direct AWS console access. Operations teams, executives, and external partners can view performance trends and receive automated email reports, ensuring everyone stays informed about infrastructure health through familiar business intelligence interfaces.
Do I need to set up a database like PostgreSQL or BigQuery between CloudWatch and Quicksight?
No, Kondado delivers data directly to Amazon Quicksight without requiring intermediate databases such as PostgreSQL or BigQuery. This direct approach eliminates maintenance overhead and reduces complexity, allowing business users to access infrastructure metrics immediately without technical infrastructure management.
How do I build my first CloudWatch monitoring dashboard in Quicksight?
After Kondado replicates your data, open Amazon Quicksight and create a new analysis using the replicated CloudWatch Metrics dataset. Start with simple visualizations like line charts for CPU utilization trends or bar charts comparing resource usage across different services, then add filters for time periods or specific instances. You can also send the same data to Google Sheets or Power BI if your team prefers those tools.
