Recreate "monitoring" tab as a dashboard in cloudwatch

Question

most PaaS services have a tab which is dedicated to monitoring.  within you will see time series graphs of different metrics specific to those PaaS services.  is there a simple way to re-create these graphs in cloud watch?  it would be nice if there was some button which would allow you to recreate or at very least to be able to see the names of the metrics being rendered on the monitoring tab so that you could carry those metrics over into Cloud watch.

You can navigate to Cloudwatch --> Dashboard --> 2nd tab --> Automatic Dashboards --->

All the running services will be visible there.

You could click on Add to Dashboard which will add them to the dashboard (to the master dashboard).

Hope this helps

Answer

Most of the monitoring tabs are prebuilt views into CloudWatch metrics. Some of them have options to "View in metrics" (or similar) that will take you directly to the metric in CloudWatch, and from there you can add to a dashboard.

Some of the Monitoring tabs don't have a way to directly link to CloudWatch, and so it's necessary to navigate to CloudWatch metrics to try and find the corresponding metric.

To determine the metric you're looking at in CloudWatch you might find the documentation helpful - for example this page documents the CloudWatch metrics for Redshift: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/metrics-listing.html and you might be able to map that back to what is displayed in the Monitoring tab.
