Amazon WorkSpaces Applications announces additional health and performance metrics

Today, Amazon WorkSpaces Applications announced a new set of Amazon CloudWatch metrics for monitoring the health and performance of fleets, sessions, instances, and users. Administrators and support operations personnel can conveniently enable monitoring across fleets from the Amazon CloudWatch console. These metrics simplify troubleshooting and dynamically update to reflect the latest state of important performance metrics.

Users can make informed decisions on sizing and end users' streaming instances by setting performance thresholds on available metrics to meet performance and budgeting criteria. They can view performance metrics to troubleshoot end user streaming session related issues.

To enable this feature for your fleet instancess, you must use a WorkSpaces Applications image that uses latest agent released on or after December 06, 2025 or has been updated using Managed WorkSpaces Applications image updates released on or after December 05, 2025.

These CloudWatch metrics are available in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces Applications is currently available. To get started or learn more, you can visit Amazon WorkSpaces Applications Metrics and Dimensions documentation.
