Organizational view (console)

You can use the AWS Health console to get a centralized view for health events in your AWS organization.

Organizational view is available in the AWS Health console for all AWS Support plans at no additional cost.

Note

If you want to allow users access to this feature in the management account, they must have permissions such as the AWSHealthFullAccess policy. For more information, see AWS Health identity-based policy examples.

  4. (Optional) If you want to make changes to your AWS organizations, such as creating organizational units (OUs), choose Manage AWS Organizations.

    For more information, see Getting started with AWS Organizations in the AWS Organizations User Guide.

Notes

  • Enabling this feature is an asynchronous process and takes time to complete. Depending on the number of accounts in your organization, it can take several minutes to load the accounts. You can leave and check the AWS Health console later.

  • If you have a Business or Enterprise support plan, you can call the DescribeHealthServiceStatusForOrganization API operation to check the status of the process.

  • When you enable this feature, the AWSServiceRoleForHealth_Organizations service-linked role with the Health_OrganizationsServiceRolePolicy policy is applied to the management account in the organization. For more information, see Using service-linked roles for AWS Health.

Viewing organizational view events (console)

After you enable organizational view, AWS Health displays health events for all accounts in your organization.

When an account joins your organization, AWS Health automatically adds the account to organizational view. When an account leaves your organization, new events from that account are no longer logged to organizational view. However, existing events remain and you can still query them up to the 90-day limit.

Note

When you enable this feature, the AWS Health console can display public events from the Service Health Dashboard for the last 7 days. These public events aren't specific to accounts in your organization. Events from the Service Health Dashboard provide public information about the regional availability of AWS services.

You can view organizational view events in the Dashboard or the Event log page.
