Linking CloudWatch RUM App to CloudWatch Canary
On the CloudWatch RUM App page, in the lower right there is a card/block that states "Tag your canaries with this app monitor's name to associate them. " But the docs don't show what tag to add to the canary. For instance, do we tag the Canary, Name="<App>", Value="" ? or is there a specific tag name to use and the app name is in the value ?

FYI anyone that was tracking this question.
I confirmed that tagging the Canary with the RUM Application Name does work.
Add the tag name that matches the RUM Application Name, with an empty value.
For example :
RUM Application name is "App1-Monitor"
Add a tag to the Canary with tag name "App1-Monitor" with a value "" (empty string)
JSON example
[ { "TagName" : "App1-Monitor", "TagValue" : "" } ]
Could you elaborate? What's the actual tag name? Is it 'name' or 'App Monitor Name'? For me, neither works.
Tobias, the tag name is the same as the RUM name. In the answer above, the RUM name is "App1-Monitor", so to link this to a Canary, add a Canary tag with the tag name "App1-Monitor". The value can be blank.
Thank you so much for clarifying this! Now it works like a charm! 🎉

I have this question too. Did you resolve this?
Hi, you can integrate your CloudWatch Synthetics canaries with RUM by adding the following tag tag with the key to the canary. tag: App Monitor Name, Value: associated-rum
@rePost-user-surbd, Can you please clarify? This tag should be added to the Canary, right? And the value is the name of the RUM, or something else like an ARN? I tried adding a tag called "App Monitor Name" to my Canary, with the name of the associated RUM, and that did nothing.
