Reusable investigation patterns for AWS CloudWatch: Logs Insights query templates, alarm-to-deployment correlation, blast-radius narrowing decision tree, and PromQL-style metric query patterns for structured incident triage.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# AWS CloudWatch Investigation Skill
Reusable patterns for investigating production incidents using CloudWatch Logs, Metrics, and Alarms. These patterns are designed to be composed together during incident triage.
---
## Pattern 1: Logs Insights Query Templates
### Error Spike Detection
Find the top errors in a time window, grouped by error type:
```
fields @timestamp, @message, @logStream
| filter @message like /(?i)(error|exception|fatal|critical)/
| stats count(*) as errorCount by bin(5m), @logStream
| sort errorCount desc
| limit 20
```
### P99 Latency Breakdown by Operation
Identify which operations are driving latency spikes:
```
fields @timestamp, @duration, operation
| filter ispresent(@duration)
| stats avg(@duration) as avgMs,
pct(@duration, 50) as p50Ms,
pct(@duration, 95) as p95Ms,
pct(@duration, 99) as p99Ms,
count(*) as invocations
by operation
| sort p99Ms desc
| limit 15
```
### Lambda Cold Start Detection
Quantify cold start impact during an incident:
```
fields @timestamp, @duration, @initDuration, @memorySize, @maxMemoryUsed
| filter ispresent(@initDuration)
| stats count(*) as coldStarts,

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/aws-cloudwatch-investigation@sha256:e278e755854bb81bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260629.15671f7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
