With Kondado, you can access specific pipelines like Métricas (Incremental) to track metrics collected since your last update, or Métricas (Janela Móvel) to analyze performance within a custom moving time window. These options let operations teams monitor EC2 instance health, Lambda function performance, or billing metrics in Redash dashboards that refresh automatically. Marketing and product teams can correlate application response times with user behavior trends, turning technical monitoring data into actionable business insights without waiting for developer resources. By combining incremental updates with moving window analysis, you create comprehensive views that show both immediate issues and long-term patterns in your AWS infrastructure spending and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers about visualizing AWS CloudWatch Metrics data in Redash automatically

How do I connect AWS CloudWatch Metrics to Redash without coding?
Start by adding AWS CloudWatch Metrics as a data source in your Kondado account, then select Redash as your destination. The setup requires only your AWS credentials and takes minutes to complete, with no technical configuration needed. Once connected, choose your preferred pipelines and your data will begin replicating to Redash automatically.
What types of CloudWatch dashboards can I build in Redash?
You can create custom reports tracking EC2 CPU utilization, Lambda error rates, or RDS database performance over time. Operations teams often build monitoring dashboards that display resource costs alongside performance metrics to optimize cloud spending. These visualizations help non-technical stakeholders understand infrastructure health without accessing the AWS console.
How often does AWS CloudWatch Metrics data update in Redash?
Kondado lets you configure update frequencies ranging from every 5 minutes to daily, depending on how current your reports need to be. Near-real-time updates work well for critical system monitoring, while hourly or daily schedules suit cost analysis and trend reporting. You can adjust these settings anytime to match your business requirements.
Which KPIs should I track when visualizing CloudWatch data in Redash?
Focus on metrics that impact business operations, such as application latency affecting customer experience, or storage costs trending over the month. The Métricas (Incremental) pipeline helps track ongoing performance changes, while Métricas (Janela Móvel) lets you analyze specific time periods for troubleshooting. Combining these views gives you both immediate alerts and historical context for decision-making.
Can I share Redash dashboards with my team using Kondado data?
Yes, once your data flows into Redash, you can share dashboards with unlimited team members just like any other Redash report. Your colleagues will see updated metrics based on the schedule you configured, whether that is every 15 minutes or once per day. This keeps everyone aligned on system performance without manual report distribution.
Do I need a separate database to store CloudWatch Metrics before using Redash?
No, Kondado connects AWS CloudWatch Metrics directly to Redash through a Via Kondado connection, eliminating the need for intermediate storage. Your metrics replicate straight into Redash ready for visualization, saving you from database maintenance costs and technical complexity. If you prefer, you can also send data to PostgreSQL, BigQuery, or other destinations instead.
