Getting "The following resource types are not supported for resource import: AWS::CloudWatch::Dashboard,AWS::Lambda::Permission" error while trying to use this stack

Hi

I used this CloudFormation in the past and it worked perfectly.
I tried to use it again today in another account and i'm getting the next error after uploading the template : The following resource types are not supported for resource import: AWS::CloudWatch::Dashboard,AWS::Lambda::Permission

Its seems that AWS::CloudWatch::Dashboard,AWS::Lambda::Permission are no longer supported by CloudFormation.
Someone can advice which resource I can use instead, because this dashboard is very useful ?

Thanks,
Eran.

Hey Eran,

Thank you for reaching and sorry to hear about the issue you are having.

It appears that you are trying to use the Import feature in CloudFormation to launch the stack.
The Import feature does not support some of the essential resources of the Amazon EC2 Global Dashboard.

Can you please try again to launch the stack but choose 'standard' instead of 'import resources'.

Resources that support import and drift detection operations:
-- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/resource-import-supported-resources.html

I'm delighted to hear that you think the dashboard is useful.
Hoping to push some new features soon which you might find even more useful.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know and I'll gladly help.

Kind regards,
Conor

Hey Conor,

Thanks for your reply. I tried it again with the Standard option and it passed successfully.
I don't know why i selected the import option .... :-)

This dashboard is very useful and i'll be to see new features.

BR,
Eran.
