AWS DevOps Guru Integration

Integrate AWS DevOps Guru with ilert to detect anomalies in operations, turn performance insights into alerts, and accelerate proactive incident response.

AWS DevOps Guru is a machine learning-powered service that identifies operational issues and anomalies within applications running on AWS, providing insights and recommendations for performance improvements. By integrating AWS DevOps Guru with ilert, users gain proactive incident management capabilities, where detected anomalies and potential issues automatically trigger alerts in ilert.

How this integration works

AWS DevOps Guru provides insights into operational anomalies. Notifications are published to specific Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) topics; the events are then sent to ilert.
