AWS CloudWatch metrics on the wall.
Stream AWS CloudWatch dashboards, metrics, and alarm states to digital signage screens for continuous cloud infrastructure visibility.
AWS Infrastructure on Every Screen
AWS CloudWatch is the monitoring backbone for millions of cloud workloads. Hangar.Media displays CloudWatch dashboards on signage screens so your infrastructure team has continuous visibility into resource utilisation, performance metrics, and alarm states. Show EC2 CPU usage, RDS connections, Lambda invocations, and billing data on NOC walls and engineering displays.
What you can do with on the wall.
Three capabilities that make this integration essential for your digital signage network.
All AWS Services in One View
CloudWatch collects metrics from over 70 AWS services. Display composite dashboards on signage screens that combine EC2 instance health, RDS database performance, Lambda execution metrics, and S3 storage utilisation in a single unified view.
Your entire AWS estate, visible on one screen.
EC2, RDS, Lambda, and S3 metrics
ELB, API Gateway, and SQS monitoring
Custom metrics from your applications
Visual Alarm State Display
CloudWatch alarms are colour-coded on screen — green for OK, yellow for insufficient data, red for alarm state. Your NOC team can see infrastructure health status at a glance from across the room without reading individual metric values.
Red means act, green means relax. Visible from 10 metres.

AWS Billing on Display
Display CloudWatch billing metrics and cost breakdowns on signage screens. Show daily spend, monthly forecast, and cost-by-service breakdowns so engineering and finance teams maintain cost awareness throughout the month.
Cloud costs visible to everyone, not just the finance team.

Common questions. Straight answers.
How do I share CloudWatch dashboards with Hangar.Media?
You can use CloudWatch dashboard sharing to generate a public or protected URL. Alternatively, Hangar.Media Authenticated Dashboards feature can handle AWS console sign-in for private dashboards.
Can I display metrics from multiple AWS accounts?
Yes. If you use CloudWatch cross-account observability, your composite dashboards showing metrics from multiple AWS accounts can be displayed on Hangar.Media signage screens.
What is the minimum refresh interval?
Hangar.Media can reload CloudWatch dashboards as frequently as every 10 seconds. CloudWatch itself supports metric granularity down to 1 second for detailed monitoring, though standard metrics refresh every 5 minutes.
Can I show CloudWatch alongside other monitoring tools?
Yes. You can add CloudWatch dashboards to any Hangar.Media playlist alongside Datadog, Grafana, New Relic, or other monitoring dashboards. You can also use screen zones to display multiple tools simultaneously.
One price. The whole platform.
That's how we think signage should work. Content editor, screen management, and 200+ app integrations — all included from day one.
