What is aws-observability?

Builds, configures, debugs, and optimizes AWS observability with CloudWatch (Log Insights, Metrics, Alarms, Dashboards, EMF), X-Ray, CloudTrail, and ADOT (AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry), AND enables/onboards services to Application Signals using ADOT auto-instrumentation SDKs. Covers Log Insights queries, alarms (metric, composite, anomaly), dashboards, custom metrics/EMF, X-Ray tracing and sampling, ADOT collector config, CloudTrail auditing, and end-to-end Application Signals enablement via ADOT SDKs (CloudWatch Observability EKS add-on, CloudWatch Agent IAM, OTLP endpoints, ServiceEvents, Dynamic Instrumentation), breakpoint and snapshot in Dynamic Instrumentation, live data capture in running service, debug without redeploying. Applies to CloudWatch, alarms, dashboards, EMF, X-Ray, traces, CloudTrail, ADOT, monitoring, synthetics/canaries, OR enabling/onboarding/instrumenting a service for Application Signals. Not for app logging or security threat detection.

AWS Observability

Overview

Domain expertise for AWS observability across metrics, logs, and traces, covering the full lifecycle: enabling/onboarding a service to Application Signals using ADOT (AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry) auto-instrumentation SDKs and ServiceEvents — making the service show up in Application Signals — on EC2, ECS, EKS, and Lambda in Python, Node.js, Java, and .NET.

Works best with the AWS MCP server — enables running CLI commands, querying CloudWatch, and validating configurations directly. All guidance also works with standard AWS CLI access.

Note: Reference files contain specific runtime versions, quota values, and feature matrices that may change. When precision matters (e.g., deploying to production, choosing a runtime, or checking a quota), confirm values against current AWS documentation rather than relying solely on the values in these files.
