• The AWS Systems Manager CloudWatch Dashboard will no longer be available after April 30, 2026. Customers can continue to use Amazon CloudWatch console to view, create, and manage their Amazon CloudWatch dashboards, just as they do today. For more information, see [Amazon CloudWatch Dashboard documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch_Dashboards.html). # Working with clusters in Application Manager Working with clusters This section includes topics to help you work with Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) container clusters in Application Manager, a component of AWS Systems Manager. **Topics** + [ # Working with Amazon ECS in Application Manager ](application-manager-working-ECS.md) + [ # Working with Amazon EKS in Application Manager ](application-manager-working-EKS.md) + [ # Working with runbooks for clusters ](application-manager-working-runbooks-clusters.md) # Working with Amazon ECS in Application Manager With Application Manager, a tool in AWS Systems Manager, you can view and manage your Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) cluster infrastructure. Application Manager applies a tag to your Amazon ECS cluster using the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster as the tag value. Application Manager provides a component runtime view of the compute, networking, and storage resources in a cluster. **Note** You can't manage or view operations information about your containers in Application Manager. You can only manage and view operations information about the infrastructure hosting your Amazon ECS resources. **Actions you can perform on this page** You can perform the following actions on this page: + Choose **Manage cluster** to open the cluster in Amazon ECS. + Choose **View all** to view a list of resources in your cluster. + Choose **View in CloudWatch** to view resource alarms in Amazon CloudWatch. + Choose **Manage nodes** or **Manage Fargate profiles** to view these resources in Amazon ECS. + Choose a resource ID to view detailed information about it in the console where it was created. + View a list of OpsItems related to your clusters. + View a history of runbooks that have been run on your clusters. **To open an **ECS cluster**** 1. Open the AWS Systems Manager console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Application Manager**. 1. In the **Container clusters** section, choose **ECS clusters**. 1. Choose a cluster in the list. Application Manager opens the **Overview** tab. # Working with Amazon EKS in Application Manager Application Manager, a tool in AWS Systems Manager, integrates with [Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/what-is-eks.html) (Amazon EKS) to provide information about the health of your Amazon EKS cluster infrastructure. Application Manager applies a tag to your Amazon EKS cluster using the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster as the tag value. Application Manager provides a component runtime view of the compute, networking, and storage resources in a cluster. **Note** You can't manage or view operations information about your Amazon EKS pods or containers in Application Manager. You can only manage and view operations information about the infrastructure hosting your Amazon EKS resources. **Actions you can perform on this page** You can perform the following actions on this page: + Choose **Manage cluster** to open the cluster in Amazon EKS. + Choose **View all** to view a list of resources in your cluster. + Choose **View in CloudWatch** to view resource alarms in Amazon CloudWatch. + Choose **Manage nodes** or **Manage Fargate profiles** to view these resources in Amazon EKS. + Choose a resource ID to view detailed information about it in the console where it was created. + View a list of OpsItems related to your clusters. + View a history of runbooks that have been run on your clusters. **To open an **EKS clusters** application** 1. Open the AWS Systems Manager console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Application Manager**. 1. In the **Container clusters** section, choose **EKS clusters**. 1. Choose a cluster in the list. Application Manager opens the **Overview** tab. # Working with runbooks for clusters You can remediate issues with AWS resources from Application Manager, a tool in AWS Systems Manager, by using Systems Manager Automation runbooks. When you choose **Start runbook** from an Application Manager cluster, the system displays a filtered list of runbooks based on the type of resources in your cluster. When you choose the runbook you want to start, Systems Manager opens the **Execute automation document** page. **Before you begin** Before you start a runbook from Application Manager, do the following: + Verify that you have the correct permissions for starting runbooks. For more information, see [Setting up Automation](automation-setup.md). + Review the Automation procedure documentation about starting runbooks. For more information, see [Run an automated operation powered by Systems Manager Automation](running-simple-automations.md). + If you intend to start runbooks on multiple resources at one time, review the documentation about using targets and rate controls. For more information, see [Run automated operations at scale](running-automations-scale.md). **To start a runbook for clusters from Application Manager** 1. Open the AWS Systems Manager console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/). 1. In the navigation pane, choose **Application Manager**. 1. In the **Container clusters** section, choose a container type. 1. Choose the cluster in the list. Application Manager opens the **Overview** tab. 1. On the **Runbooks** tab, choose **Start runbook**. Application Manager opens the **Execute automation document** page in a new tab. For information about the options in the **Execute automation document** page, see [Run an automated operation powered by Systems Manager Automation](running-simple-automations.md).
