Source: AWS What's New

Share

A mazon CloudWatch now supports tagging for CloudWatch dashboards, enabling you to organize, categorize, and control access to your dashboards using tags. Tags are key-value pairs that help you identify and manage AWS resources across your environment. With this launch, the PutDashboard API now accepts an optional Tags parameter, allowing you to assign up to 50 tags when creating a new dashboard. The TagResource, UntagResource, and ListTagsForResource APIs now support dashboard ARNs, enabling you to add, remove, and list tags on existing dashboards. You can also manage dashboard tags using AWS
