Connect Cloudwatch & AWS CLI
AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) is an open-source tool that lets you control and automate multiple AWS services, including Amazon CloudWatch, from a terminal session on your own client. CloudWatch collects activity logs from your StrongDM-connected infrastructure and helps you detect anomalous behavior, so you can keep your applications running problem-free.
