Connecting CloudWatch turns an alarm into a starting point. Instead of paging someone to go look, WeWatch picks up the alarm and traces it through your topology to find what caused it and what else it affects.
CloudWatch alerts run on top of an existing AWS connection. Connect AWS first — the setup asks you to pick a healthy AWS connection, and can’t proceed without one.

​
Set it up

1

Start the flow

Integrations → Add Integration → Alert Integration, then choose CloudWatch.
2

Select the AWS connection

Pick which connected account’s alarms to monitor. Only healthy connections are listed.
3

Confirm

WeWatch subscribes to the account’s alarms. New alarm activity now creates incidents automatically.

​
What happens when an alarm fires

The alarm arrives as an incident. WeWatch investigates it against the live topology and attaches what it finds — the likely cause, the resources downstream of it, and recent changes that correlate. If Slack is connected, your team can ask follow-up questions about the incident in the channel.
