This dashboard can be utilized for several popular use-cases, including identifying suspicious IP logins, finding over-burdensome users, and troubleshooting login issues.

• Operational Account Activity - a key component of running workloads in AWS is understanding recurring errors, how administrators and employees are interacting with your workloads, and who or what is using root privileges in your account.
