Pillar · Monitoring
Is your monitoring actually monitoring?
CloudWatch enabled is not the same as covered. We score how mature your monitoring is, find the gaps, and turn them into specific work in the Action Hub.

Sound familiar?
A long list of CloudWatch alarms, no idea which matter.
New resources go live without alarms attached.
"INSUFFICIENT_DATA" alarms outnumber real ones.
Critical alarms have been firing for weeks because nobody owns them.
What you see
A score, the gaps, and the priority risks.
Monitoring maturity composite at the top, alarm coverage and in-alarm rate next to it, and a severity breakdown of findings. Three sub-views — alarm health, coverage gaps, maturity — explain the score.
- 1
Monitoring maturity — composite of alarm posture, history, and coverage.
- 2
Alarm coverage — percentage of resources with alarms attached. The number that exposes new resources going live unmonitored.
- 3
In Alarm — percentage of alarms currently firing. Spikes mean either a real issue or noisy thresholds.
- 4
Findings, by severity — what to fix first.
- 5
Priority risks table — highest severity, longest open. Start there.
Three sub-views
From "we have alarms" to "we have coverage."
Each sub-view answers a different question. Together they tell you whether the monitoring you've already paid for is doing its job.
Alarm Health
Current state breakdown — OK, ALARM, INSUFFICIENT — with history and the longest-stuck alarms surfaced.
Coverage Gaps
Resources without adequate alerting, broken down by service. The list of new things that quietly arrived without a watcher.
Maturity
A weighted score across alarm posture, alarm history, and monitoring coverage — trended over time.
How the gap closes
Three steps. Done in the Action Hub.
Inventory, compare, surface. The work itself happens in the Action Hub like everything else, ranked by severity and how long it has been sitting open.
1. Inventory
List the resources that should be monitored — by service and account.
2. Compare
Cross-reference against alarms currently configured. Surface the delta.
3. Surface
The delta becomes Action Hub items, ranked by severity and age.

A view from the live product. The four columns that decide what gets worked first.
| Resource | Severity | Code | Days stuck |
|---|---|---|---|
| prod-rds-orders-eu-west-2 | Critical | ALH-002 | 38 |
| i-0a4b...c91 (EC2) | Critical | COV-014 | 22 |
| stg-elb-checkout | High | ALH-009 | 17 |
| prod-lambda-billing | High | COV-021 | 12 |
Your cloud operations won't sort themselves out.
But they don't need a specialist either. Connect Emnode, get clarity across all four pillars, and start closing the gap.
