# Monitoring AWS Resources
+
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/12621) in GitLab 9.4
GitLab has support for automatically detecting and monitoring AWS resources, starting with the [Elastic Load Balancer](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/). This is provided by leveraging the official [Cloudwatch exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/cloudwatch_exporter), which translates [Cloudwatch metrics](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/) into a Prometheus readable form.
+## Requirements
+
+The [Prometheus service](../prometheus/index.md) must be enabled.
+
## Metrics supported
