Monitor all clusters of AWS

Question

I was wondering if it is possible to monitor all AWS cluster environments by default. We currently have two clusters and we monitor them by having a class that creates a DescribeEnvironmentResourcesRequest request like this:

for (String cluster : clusters) {
            DescribeEnvironmentResourcesRequest request = new DescribeEnvironmentResourcesRequest();
            request.setEnvironmentName(cluster);

 //Code to get all beanstalk annd EC2 instances for this cluster.

The problem with this is , everytime we add a new cluster, we will have to modify our list of clusters (which is stored in a properties file ), redeploy this application and only then will we be able to monitor the instances in the new cluster.

Is there a way to let AWS auto discover new clusters as and when they are added, so that it solves the issue?

Use DescribeEnvironments to retrieve a current list of available environments. From that list you get the environment resources.
