Amazon CloudWatch introduces interactive incident reporting

Amazon CloudWatch now offers interactive incident report generation, enabling customers to create comprehensive post-incident analysis reports in minutes. The new capability, available within CloudWatch investigations, automatically gathers and correlates your telemetry data, as well as your input and any actions taken during an investigation, and produces a streamlined incident report.

Using the new feature you can automatically capture critical operational telemetry, service configurations, and investigation findings to generate detailed reports. Reports include executive summaries, timeline of events, impact assessments, and actionable recommendations. These reports help you better identify patterns, implement preventive measures, and continuously improve your operational posture through structured post incident analysis.

The incident report generation feature is available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (Spain), and Europe (Stockholm).

You can create their first incident report by first creating a CloudWatch investigation and then clicking “Incident report”. To learn more about this new feature, visit the CloudWatch incident reports documentation.
