The Monitors overlay is in Preview.

Overview

The Monitors overlay shows monitors associated with your AWS and Azure resources and services, along with their current state (Alert, Warn, or OK). Use this overlay to identify and investigate production issues directly in your infrastructure diagram.

View monitor status

Each resource or service with associated monitors displays an icon showing:

  • The count of monitors in the highest state (Alert takes priority over Warn, which takes priority over OK)
  • The title of the highest-priority monitor

When only one monitor is in the highest state, the diagram displays the monitor icon instead of a count.

Filter monitors

Use the legend at the bottom of the diagram to filter monitors by alerting status and monitor priority.

Investigate monitors

Hover panel

Hover over a resource or service with monitors to see a count breakdown of associated monitors by status. The hover panel includes an Investigate with Bits AI SRE button that loads the three most recent alerting events for the selected monitor. From there, you can initiate an investigation or view an existing one.
