# AWS CloudWatch Integration

AWS CloudWatch is the monitoring and alarms service for AWS resources. Harness AI SRE ingests CloudWatch alarms through an Amazon SNS webhook to create and enrich incidents.

### How AI SRE supports AWS CloudWatch <a href="#how-ai-sre-supports-aws-cloudwatch" id="how-ai-sre-supports-aws-cloudwatch"></a>

CloudWatch alarms publish to an Amazon SNS topic, and SNS POSTs the notification to an AI SRE webhook URL. AI SRE maps the payload with a webhook template and creates a new incident or updates an existing one based on the alarm.

### Set up AWS CloudWatch <a href="#set-up-aws-cloudwatch" id="set-up-aws-cloudwatch"></a>

Use these resources to configure AWS CloudWatch and connect it to AI SRE:

* Go to the [AWS CloudWatch integration guide](/ai-sre/ai-sre-for-administrators/set-up-alert-management/webhooks/integration-guides/cloud/aws-cloudwatch.md) to configure the SNS topic and HTTPS subscription and connect it to AI SRE.
* Go to the [AWS CloudWatch webhook template](/ai-sre/ai-sre-for-administrators/set-up-alert-management/webhooks/templates/cloud/aws-cloudwatch.md) to review the field mappings AI SRE applies to SNS payloads.

### Next steps <a href="#next-steps" id="next-steps"></a>

* Go to the [Datadog integration](/ai-sre/ai-sre-for-administrators/set-up-integration-management/monitoring/datadog.md) to ingest Datadog monitor alerts.
* Go to the [Prometheus integration](/ai-sre/ai-sre-for-administrators/set-up-integration-management/monitoring/prometheus.md) to ingest Prometheus Alertmanager alerts.
* Go to the [Integration Management overview](/ai-sre/ai-sre-for-administrators/set-up-integration-management/index.md) to see all supported tools.
