Amazon CloudWatch Application Signals Model Context Protocol or MCP Server for Application Performance Monitoring (APM) now integrates CloudWatch Synthetics canary monitoring directly into its audit framework, enabling automated, AI-powered debugging of synthetic monitoring failures. DevOps teams and developers can now use natural language questions like ‘Why is my checkout canary failing?’ in compatible AI assistants such as Amazon Q, Claude, or other supported assistants to utilize the new AI-powered debugged capabilities and quickly distinguish between canary infrastructure issues and actual service problems, addressing the significant challenge of extensive manual analysis in maintaining reliable synthetic monitoring.
The integration extends Application Signals’ existing multi-signal (services, operations, SLOs, golden signals) analysis capabilities to include comprehensive canary diagnostics. The new feature automatically correlates canary failures with service health metrics, traces, and dependencies through an intelligent audit pipeline. Starting from natural language prompts from users, the system performs multi-layered diagnostic analysis across six major areas: Network Issues, Authentication Failures, Performance Problems, Script Errors, Infrastructure Issues, and Service Dependencies. This analysis includes automated comparison of HTTP Archive or HAR files, CloudWatch logs analysis, S3 artifact examination, and configuration validation, significantly reducing the time needed to identify and resolve synthetic monitoring issues.
Customers can then access these insights through natural language interactions with supported AI assistants.
This feature is available in all commercial AWS regions where Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics is offered. Customers will need access to a compatible AI agent such as Amazon Q, Claude, or other supported AI assistants to utilize the AI-powered debugging capabilities.
