Cloud Monitoring

CloudWatch :

CloudWatch Metrics :

Represents a time-ordered set a data points.
A variable to monitor, and the data points as representing the values of that variable over time.
e.g. : The CPU Usage of particular EC2 instance is one metric provided by Amazon EC2, another one is Disk Writes to EBS volumes.

CloudWatch Logs :

Monitor logs for performance data about AWS services, e.g. EC2, CloudTrail, Route53.

CloudWatch Events :

Trigger something based on a condition, like an email being sent when a root user logs in or take an EBS snapshot every hour.

CloudWatch Alarms :

Trigger a notification a metric, like if the CPU Usage goes above 50%, then do an SNS notification to the owner.

CloudTrail :

Track user activity and API usage.
Track which user made change to something.

X-RAY :

Analyze and debug production, distributed application
Identify and troubleshoot the root cause of performance issue and errors.

Service Health Dashboard :

Get a status of all AWS services across all regions.

Personal Health Dashboard :

While the Service Health Dashboard displays the general status of AWS services, Personal Health Dashboard gives you a personalized view into the performance and availability of the AWS services underlying your AWS resources. showing you how this will impact you.

Cloud Monitoring - Summary ;

CloudWatch ; -> Metrics : monitor the performance of AWS services and billing metrics. -> Alarms : Automate notification, perform EC2 action (s/r/t), notify to SNS based on metric -> Logs : Collet log files from EC2 instances, servers, Lambda functions. -> Events (or EventBridge) : React to events in AWS, or trigger a rule on a schedule.
CloudTrail : Audit API calls made within your AWS account.
CloudTrail Insights : Automated analysis of CloudTrail events.
X-Ray : Trace requests made through your distributed applications.
Service Health Dashboard : Status of all AWS services across all regions.
Personal Health Dashboard : AWS events that impact your infrastructure.
