CloudWatch Logs, Alarm & Dashboard

A self-contained CloudWatch observability bundle - an encrypted log group with retention, a metric alarm, and a dashboard - that stands up from just a name and points at any real metric.

This is the operations reference: version drift, dependants and neighbours. For what the module provisions, its inputs and outputs, and how to buy it, see the catalogue entry.

Provider drift

Every provider this module requires is one it already accepts at the newest release the registry offers. Nothing is pinned behind a major.

Measured 2026-09-01 against the Terraform registry. The whole catalogue is on provider freshness.

What depends on this

2 reference architectures compose this module, so a breaking change to it reaches further than the module itself. That is the blast radius to check before altering or replacing it.

Nearest alternatives

Nothing else in the catalogue covers observability on AWS. If this module is not the right shape, the closest options are on other clouds.

The same job on other clouds

Monitoring & Observability on other providers. Useful when the cloud is still open, or when you are pricing a second one. How far a comparison like that can be trusted is covered in comparing clouds.

Installing it

module "aws_cloudwatch" {
  source  = "www.iac-bazaar.com/iac-bazaar/aws-cloudwatch/aws"
  version = "1.1.0"
}

A registry token is required for the download itself. Installing through the registry protocol has the two credential steps.
