This lesson is part of AWS · All levels
Summary
Monitoring means collecting and analyzing system condition data on a regular basis, both actively and passively through recording. AWS CloudWatch is a monitoring center with metrics, and alarms for almost all AWS services. A good practice is to monitor the performance, cost, and safety aspects at once, not just one side.
Key points
- Active monitoring: continuous monitoring; passive monitoring: recording and review
- Metrics are measured values such as CPU or latency per period
- Alarm changes status based on comparison to threshold
- Applications and systems are collected into CloudWatch Logs
- Monitoring also covers aspects of cost and security
