How can the user achieve this easily with the AWS console?
The user can use the copy URL functionality of CloudWatch to share the exact details
The user can use the export data option from the CloudWatch console to export the current data point
The user has to find the period and data and provide all the aggregation information to the manager
The user can use the CloudWatch data copy functionality to copy the current data points
Explanations:
The user can use the copy URL functionality of CloudWatch to generate a link that includes the exact view of the metrics being observed, which can be easily shared with the manager. This option ensures that the manager can access the same dashboard view directly without needing additional context.
The export data option in CloudWatch is limited to specific data points and may not capture the entire context of the metric history. This option is not the most efficient way to share detailed and formatted metric data over a specified period like the last two weeks.
While the user could manually collect the period and aggregation information to share with the manager, this is not an efficient or easy method. It requires additional effort and may lead to errors or incomplete information when trying to recreate the metric view.
CloudWatch does not have a specific “data copy functionality” to simply copy current data points in a manner suitable for sharing. This option does not exist in the AWS CloudWatch console and thus cannot be utilized for sharing metric data effectively.
I judge that the answer is:
The user can use the copy URL functionality of CloudWatch to share the exact details
