Getting started with host monitoring

This page is the entry point for host monitoring in Infrastructure Explorer. Once you connect a cloud account, the matching resources appear in the Hosts view alongside any Kubernetes nodes you already monitor.

Set up host monitoring

Pick the integration that matches your cloud:

AWS EC2. Follow the AWS Infrastructure Explorer integration to connect an AWS account and bring EC2 instances and network interfaces into Infrastructure Explorer.
Azure Virtual Machines. Follow the Azure Infrastructure Explorer integration to connect an Azure tenant and bring Virtual Machines and Virtual Machine Scale Set instances into Infrastructure Explorer.

Each setup runs separately. If you use both clouds, complete both integrations. Add additional AWS accounts or Azure tenants by repeating the relevant integration.

What you get

Once an integration is active:

Hosts appear in Infrastructure, then Infrastructure Explorer, under the Hosts sidebar entry.
The Cloud column shows the source (AWS or Azure), and you can filter by cloud, region, or instance type.
Drill into any host to view its metadata, configuration, ownership, and any telemetry sent by agents running on the host.
