Monitoring Automation Health

Use reports to monitor:

Execution frequency - Ensure automations run as expected

Resource coverage - Verify all accounts/regions are processed
Trends - Track findings over time

Common Report Patterns

Pattern	Meaning
Many starts at 9 AM	Schedule periods beginning
Many stops at 6 PM	Schedule periods ending
Failed actions	Permission issues or resource state problems

Security Group Finder Reports

Pattern	Meaning
High count first run	Initial cleanup needed
Decreasing over time	Cleanup is working
Sudden increase	Possible infrastructure changes

Troubleshooting Failed Reports

When a report shows failures:

View details - Check error messages
Common causes:
- IAM permission denied
- Resource in invalid state
- Rate limiting from AWS
- Network timeout
Resolution:
- Check IAM role permissions
- Verify AWS account configuration
- Retry the automation

Notifications

Configure notifications for automation failures:

Navigate to Settings > Notifications
Enable email alerts for failed automations
