Shows how to add the CloudWatch data source to an Amazon Managed Grafana workspace, how IAM and AWS Identity Center permissions are granted automatically, and how dashboards pull both CloudWatch metrics and logs without moving data. Demo builds panels that filter non-200 HTTP errors, a separate panel for 200 responses, and an ECS panel showing average CPU utilization. Includes practical tips to reduce query latency, confirms workspaces auto-scale and auto-patch, and walks through the exact console steps to reproduce the demo.
