AWS Platform Support

AlertD provides comprehensive coverage of AWS services, allowing you to query resources, analyze metrics, and investigate your infrastructure through natural language. This page details which AWS services are currently supported and what capabilities are available.

Overview

AlertD automatically ingests resource metadata from 100+ AWS services and integrates with CloudWatch for performance metrics. This dual approach allows you to:

  • List and inventory resources across your AWS accounts
  • Query CloudWatch metrics for performance analysis
  • Correlate resource metadata with metrics for optimization insights
  • Investigate issues using natural language questions

How AlertD Integrates with AWS

Read-Only Access Model

AlertD connects to your AWS account using:

  • IAM Role with ReadOnlyAccess policy
  • Ephemeral STS tokens (no permanent credentials)
  • Cross-account AssumeRole pattern (AWS best practice)

What AlertD can access:

  • Resource configurations and metadata
  • CloudWatch metrics and alarms
  • Service-specific APIs for detailed information

What AlertD cannot do:

  • Modify or delete resources
  • Change configurations
  • Create new resources
  • Execute write operations

Data Ingestion

AlertD ingests:

  1. Resource Inventory - All resource metadata is indexed for fast querying
  2. CloudWatch Metrics - Performance data is aggregated and correlated

Ingestion frequency:

  • Resource metadata: Every 24 hours
  • CloudWatch metrics: Real-time query on demand
