What is Amazon CloudWatch
✔ Provides you with data and actionable insights to monitor your applications, respond to system-wide performance changes, and optimize resource utilization.
✔ Collects monitoring and operational data in the form of logs, metrics, and traces.
✔ Get a unified view of operational health and gain complete visibility of your AWS resources, applications, and services running on AWS and on-premises.
Use Cases
Monitor and troubleshoot infrastructure
Monitor key metrics and logs, visualize your application and infrastructure stack, create alarms, and correlate data to understand and resolve the root cause of performance issues in your AWS resources.
Improve mean time to resolution
Correlate, visualize, and analyze metrics and logs so you can resolve issues quickly, and combine them with trace data from AWS X-Ray for full observability. You can also analyze user requests to speed up troubleshooting, and reduce overall MTTR.
Optimize resources proactively
Alarms watch your metric values against thresholds that you specify or that it creates using ML models to detect anomalous behavior. If an alarm is triggered, it acts automatically to enable Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling or stop an instance.
