Viewing signal maps of AWS media workflows
Workflow monitor signal maps allow you to see a visual mapping of all connected AWS resources in your media workflow.
Signal map views
After selecting a signal map, you have two views that can be used to monitor or configure the signal map. Monitor signal map and Configure signal map is a context-sensitive button found in the upper-right of the signal map console section.
If you select the signal map using the Signal maps section of the navigation pane, your signal map will be displayed in the configuration view. The configuration view allows you to make changes to the template groups attached to this signal map, deploy the attached templates, and view the basic details and tags of the signal map.
If you select the signal map using the Overview section of the navigation pane, your signal map will be displayed in monitoring view. The monitoring view displays the CloudWatch alarms, EventBridge rules, alerts, logs, and metrics for this signal map.
The view can be changed at any time by selecting the Monitor/Configure signal map button in the upper-right. The configuration view requires administrator-level IAM permissions. Required IAM permissions can be viewed here: Workflow monitor IAM policies
Navigating the signal map
A signal map will contain nodes for every supported AWS resource discovered by workflow monitor. Certain resources, such as MediaLive channels and MediaPackage endpoints can display thumbnail previews of the content, if thumbnail previews are available.
Selecting a resource node, and selecting View selected resource details from the Actions dropdown menu will take you to the associated service's details page. For example, selecting a MediaLive channel and selecting View selected resource details will open the MediaLive console's details page for that channel.
Selecting a resource node will filter the list of active alarms to only that node. If you select the resource's Target ARN in the active alarm, you will be taken to the associated service's details page, with the selected resource open.
