Gain real-time insights into your resources and applications using metrics, logs, traces, alarms, and dashboards
Benefits
Seamless telemetry visibility and setup
Gain centralized visibility into applications across your organization, which helps teams adopt and maintain best practices, while reducing the operational overhead and cost needed to investigate issues and gain real-time insights. Leverage enhanced analytics capabilities powered by integration between CloudWatch Logs and Amazon OpenSearch Service to access powerful analytics and visualizations on logs data, that help streamline log data investigation and reduce operational burden.
Integrated real-time insights
Unlock actionable insights from your log, metrics, and X-Ray traces with CloudWatch. You can query logs sent to CloudWatch in the AWS console, or start writing queries with aggregations, filters, and regular expressions for complete operational visibility. With CloudWatch Metrics Insights, you can identify trends and patterns within millions of operational metrics in near real time. Using X-Ray traces, you can leverage trace data and application maps to analyze latency issues and troubleshoot and optimize your distributed systems.
Effective alerting
Reduce noise and zoom in on real issues in your system. CloudWatch provides alarms recommendations based on monitoring best practices learned from years of operational experience at Amazon. View and take action on the recommendations in CloudWatch dashboards as well as from other AWS service consoles.
Accelerate troubleshooting and improve MTTR
With CloudWatch Application Signals that integrates X-Ray capabilities, you gain real-time visibility into application performance through metrics, spans, and traces. You can swiftly identify bottlenecks, optimize resources, and reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR), and ultimately deliver exceptional customer experiences.
Deliver exceptional customer experiences
Quickly identify application issues and proactively address them to maintain your desired customer experience. Configure alarms to alert on anomalies before issues impact the customer experience. You can also integrate with third-party incident management systems for integrated alerting. Through Application Signals with complete visibility into application transaction spans, you can troubleshoot and resolve customer support tickets by analyzing your application transactions.
Use cases
Optimize resource utilization using metrics
Leverage granular CloudWatch Metrics to identify opportunities for cost savings and operational efficiency. Monitor CPU, memory, and disk utilization across your resources, and use the data to right-size your infrastructure, scale workloads up or down, and eliminate waste.
Improve application reliability and scalability
With CloudWatch Application Performance Monitoring (APM), you can gain real-time visibility into your application's performance through application metrics, spans and traces, quickly identify bottlenecks, optimize resource allocation and deliver exceptional customer experiences by proactively addressing issues and improving reliability.
Proactively detect and resolve issues leveraging alarms
Set CloudWatch Alarms to automatically detect anomalies, performance degradation, and other operational problems before they impact your customers. Configure alerts based on custom thresholds or machine learning-powered anomaly detection, and receive notifications via Amazon SNS to respond quickly and minimize downtime.
Centralized real-time Insights through dashboards
Use pre-built or build custom CloudWatch Dashboards that are specific to your workloads including containers, compute, databases, and more. You can collect, analyze, and visualize metrics in the workload-specific dashboards to track the KPIs that matter most to your business.
