aws-cloud-monitoring

aws-cloud-monitoring is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from automateyournetwork/netclaw. It costs 50 tokens per session (916 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An AWS CloudWatch monitoring tool for metrics, alarms, logs, and network flow records. AWS is Amazon's cloud platform, and CloudWatch is its service for observing running resources and applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect alarms and service metrics, query logs, analyze VPC and Transit Gateway flow logs, and review VPN, NAT Gateway, Transit Gateway, and load-balancer performance.
Why use it?
It brings operational signals together when checking cloud health or investigating dropped traffic, latency, alarms, VPN problems, and gateway issues.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aws-cloud-monitoring scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AWS Cloud Monitoring

MCP Server

  • Command: uvx awslabs.cloudwatch-mcp-server@latest (stdio transport)
  • Requires: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION (or AWS_PROFILE)

Key Capabilities

  • Metrics: Query CloudWatch metrics for any AWS service (EC2, ELB, TGW, NAT GW, VPN)
  • Alarms: List and inspect CloudWatch alarms and their states
  • Logs: Run CloudWatch Logs Insights queries across any log group
  • Flow Logs: Analyze VPC and TGW flow logs for traffic patterns and dropped connections

Workflow: Network Monitoring Dashboard

When a user asks "how is our AWS network performing?":

  1. Check alarms: List CloudWatch alarms in ALARM state
  2. VPN metrics: Tunnel state, bytes in/out for site-to-site VPNs
  3. NAT Gateway metrics: Active connections, packets dropped, bytes processed
  4. Transit Gateway metrics: Bytes in/out, packets dropped per attachment
  5. ELB metrics: Healthy/unhealthy targets, latency, 5xx errors
  6. Report: Network health dashboard with any issues flagged

Workflow: Flow Log Analysis

When investigating traffic patterns or security events:

  1. Query VPC flow logs: Filter by source IP, destination IP, port, action (ACCEPT/REJECT)
  2. Identify rejected traffic: Find REJECT entries to see blocked connections
  3. Top talkers: Aggregate by source/destination to find heaviest traffic flows
  4. Time correlation: Narrow to specific time windows around incidents
  5. Report: Traffic analysis with recommendations

Common CloudWatch Network Metrics

Service Metric What It Tells You
VPN TunnelState 0=down, 1=up for each tunnel
VPN TunnelDataIn/Out Bytes through each VPN tunnel
NAT GW ActiveConnectionCount Active NAT connections
NAT GW PacketsDropCount Packets dropped (capacity issue)
NAT GW BytesProcessed Traffic volume through NAT
TGW BytesIn/BytesOut Traffic per TGW attachment

ELB HealthyHostCount Healthy targets behind ALB/NLB
ELB TargetResponseTime Backend latency
EC2 NetworkIn/NetworkOut Instance network throughput

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
