Getting Started
CloudWatcher docs
Simple guides for setting up CloudWatcher, reading cloud and AI data, running simulations, and using operational workflows safely.
Use these docs like a product handbook. Start with setup, then move into the feature guide that matches the job you are doing.
These CloudWatcher docs, also known by the Rabbittize domain, help engineering teams set up multicloud monitoring, understand cloud cost optimization workflows, trace AI spend, and troubleshoot billing, alerts, simulations, reports, migrations, and infrastructure visibility.
Multicloud setup
Connect AWS, Azure, or GCP and understand which capabilities are ready for each provider.
Operational visibility
Use dashboards, Watchdog, alerts, logs, savings, reports, and AI observability to spot issues early.
Safe changes
Plan simulations, review live infrastructure, and run resize migrations with explicit safety checks.

Multicloud setup
Understand AWS, Azure, and GCP connection state, capabilities, and provider switching.
Supported cloud services
See the AWS, Azure, and GCP services CloudWatcher can monitor, simulate, configure, or deploy.
Provider configurations
Review the IAM role, service principal, service account, region, billing, Terraform, and node configuration fields.
Service configuration reference
Read every supported AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Docker, network, storage, compute, database, and serverless config field.
Azure setup
Connect Azure and understand current dashboard, simulation, billing, and permission coverage.
GCP setup
Connect a GCP project with service-account setup and callback-aware onboarding.
Popular topics
Alerts & notifications
Review cloud, AI, and VPS signals with provider-aware alerting notes.
AI observability
Track model usage, reliability, and AI-related cost changes.
Playground & Evals
Run side-by-side prompt testing, configure custom LLM judges, and inspect error responses.
Simulation mode
Build AWS, Azure, and GCP simulation canvases and preview Terraform before deployment.
Resize migration
Plan right-size moves with source, target, validation, cutover, and rollback-aware steps.
Email reports
Configure report cadence, recipients, sections, and test PDF delivery.
Troubleshooting
Work through the most common onboarding and empty-state issues.
What CloudWatcher helps with
- Connect AWS, Azure, or GCP accounts and view cloud inventory, health, cost, alerts, and recommendations.
- Track AI usage across providers, models, traces, tokens, latency, errors, and estimated cost.
- Build infrastructure simulations, preview Terraform, deploy test stacks, and destroy deployed simulation resources.
- Review live infrastructure, action history, cost savings, reports, VPS logs, compliance tools, and resize migrations.
Fast path
- New user: read Getting Started, then connect one cloud provider.
- SEO and service discovery: read Supported Cloud Services and Cloud Provider Configurations.
- Cloud engineer: read Multicloud Setup, then the guide for AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- FinOps user: read Billing Metrics, Recommendations, and Cost Savings.
- AI team: read AI Observability, Setup and SDK, Traces, Cost and Models, AI Quality Workflows, and Playground and Evals.
- Infra tester: read Simulation Overview, New Simulation, Deployments, and Live Infrastructure.
- Operator: read Actions, VPS Logs, Resize Migration, and Troubleshooting.
Full feature map
- Authentication, signup verification, login, password reset, account recovery, profile, two-factor authentication, team management, roles, and security event history.
- Cloud setup for AWS IAM role, Azure service principal, GCP service account, GitHub OAuth, AI provider keys, Slack, reports, and notification channels.
- Dashboard, Watchdog, service dashboards, cloud inventory, metrics, logs, billing, alerts, security findings, recommendations, and provider switching.
- FinOps features including billing summaries, spend trends, cost forecasting, rightsizing, orphaned resource detection, commitment guidance, savings workflows, and actual-savings tracking.
- AI Observability with ingest keys, traces, request detail, spans, token analytics, cost analytics, model analytics, errors, alerts, anomaly detection, prompt insights, routing recommendations, playground, and evaluations.
- AI quality workflows including feedback capture, score review, session review, user review, and trace-focused investigation.
- Security and compliance-support features including IAM key audit, retention settings, personal-data search, erasure or redaction support, data residency reporting, action audit trail, and authentication audit trail.
- Simulation and deployment features including visual canvas, service nodes, Terraform generation, cost estimation, credential validation, live logs, deployment history, destroy workflow, and GitHub application bootstrap.
- Live Infrastructure features including inventory sync, resource detail, service-group canvases, metrics, status, and supported live actions.
- Resize Migration features including source discovery, target-size selection, access configuration, workload classification, task timeline, validation, cutover, source preservation, and migration reports.
- Operations features including actions history, VPS log agents, log summaries, error patterns, VPS alarms, email reports, Slack alerts, and troubleshooting guides.
Feature status words
- Available means the page has an active product workflow.
- Provider-dependent means it depends on your cloud provider, region, permissions, and data source.
- AWS-first means AWS has the deepest coverage today.
- Setup required means you need an integration, billing export, ingest key, agent, or notification channel first.
- Roadmap means it should not be treated as fully delivered yet.
Safety rule
Dashboards and reports are read-only. Deployments, live infrastructure actions, resize migration, alarm changes, and destroy flows can affect real cloud resources.
Check the target before acting
Before running a write action, confirm the provider, account or subscription, project, region, resource name, and generated plan.

Keep moving with the right next guide
If your team still runs into setup issues, empty dashboards, billing delays, callback failures, or alerting problems, continue with troubleshooting before re-running the entire onboarding flow.
