Insights

This element provides an overview and management element for centrally viewing your resources. Similar to actions, there are a number of different insight methods available:

  • Built-In Insights: This integrates with other AWS services, such as AWS Config, AWS CloudTrail, and Amazon Trusted Advisor, as well as the Personal Health Dashboard:

You can filter on specific resource groups as this diagram shows (PackT_Instances) or general information across your environment.    

  • Dashboard by CloudWatch: This allows you to view custom CloudWatch dashboards that you have created to view metric and threshold information for a range of resources.
  • Inventory: This is a very useful feature of SSM, as it allows you to gain an insight into what OS your resources are running and what software they have installed on them, as well as key metadata about the instance itself. This allows you to identify whether your fleet of resources is operating within the defined policies set out by your organization from a software perspective.
  • Compliance: This enables you to search your resources for noncompliance when it comes to patch and configuration. As a result, this integrates with patch manager and State Manager to gather the information required. By collecting data across your resources, you are able to drill down into non-compliant resources to identify what needs to be changed.
