AWS Launches CloudWatch Omni in 3 Regions to Unify AI Agent Observability

1 articles · Updated · InfoWorld · Sep 22

Summary

  • CloudWatch Omni gives AWS customers an off-console, application-centric view that combines agent, application and infrastructure telemetry to investigate why AI agents behaved a certain way.
  • Natural-language and SQL queries sit on top of automatic topology discovery, while a built-in AWS DevOps Agent correlates data across logs, metrics, traces and agent activity to find root causes.
  • Existing CloudWatch users can opt in without reconfiguring current telemetry, dashboards or alarms; new users must ingest data through OTLP and create an Omni application “space.”
  • Support at launch covers LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, Vercel AI SDK and AWS Strands, plus evaluation tools including Braintrust, DeepEval and Ragas.
  • Omni is available in N. Virginia, Oregon and Ireland, with pricing based on ingestion, storage and analytics; analysts said it could speed enterprise agent deployment but warned of vendor lock-in and rising telemetry costs.
