Create an App which can receive notifications from external systems and metrics from AWS CloudWatch

[maldman]

Hello all,

I have been wearing the Charge 2 now for around a year and really enjoy the tracking it provides.

Since fitbit launched the Ionic I have been toying with the idea of upgrading to it. I would really be interested in developing a custom application on the Ionic which will allow me to better monitor my Data infrastructure on AWS.

In particular I would like to receive warnings when errors occur on the infrastructure or any processes. How could this be done? I can develop web services which either push errors/events to another system or simple a web service which can poll for any errors etc. 

My second question is would I be possible to get data from AWS Cloudwatch which will allow me to check on the load on the infrastructure through the Ionic?

Regards,

Malcolm

You'll need to periodically poll for those metrics/alerts. You'll want to use the Messaging API. https://dev.fitbit.com/guides/communications/messaging/#overview
