Identity - Amazon CloudWatch

Identity

Track identity and access management operations to ensure secure and compliant agent behavior. For more information on Amazon Bedrock Identity, see Create agent and tool identities with AgentCore Identity . Identity observability includes monitoring for different authentication methods:

Identity metrics view
  • Identities – Access detailed trace information for identity operations

  • Traces – Apply advanced filters to analyze specific trace patterns

Under Identities, you will see the following:

  • Outbound Auth – Total number of outbound authentication requests initiated by Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to external identity providers

  • OAuth token fetches – Number of OAuth access tokens successfully retrieved from configured OAuth providers for agent authentication

  • OAuth token fetch error rate – Percentage of OAuth token retrieval attempts that failed due to network issues, invalid credentials, or provider errors

  • API key fetches – Number of API keys retrieved from configured key management systems for authenticating agent requests

  • API key fetch error rate – Percentage of API key retrieval attempts that failed due to access issues, invalid keys, or system errors

On the OAuth client details page, you will see the following tabs:

  • Overview – Displays comprehensive outbound authentication usage metrics and patterns for OAuth clients

    • Token fetches – Total number of authentication token requests made by agents, including both machine-to-machine and on-behalf-of-user authentication flows. This metric tracks overall authentication activity and helps with capacity planning for identity services

    • Token fetch error rate – Percentage of failed token requests out of total authentication attempts. Monitor this metric to identify authentication issues, expired credentials, or permission problems. Trends over time help detect degrading authentication performance

  • Traces – Displays detailed trace information for identity and authentication operations, including OAuth flows, workload identity token requests, and third-party service integrations. Use traces to troubleshoot authentication failures, analyze token fetch latency, and monitor security compliance across agent interactions
