collecting metrics
,
evaluating
those metrics over time, and then using them to
make decisions
or
take actions
Metrics
Variables
that are tied to your resources
Amazon CloudWatch
A web service that enables you to
monitor
and
manage various metrics
and
configure alarm actions based on data from those metrics
Uses
metrics
to represent the
data points for your resources
AWS services
send metrics to
CloudWatch
CloudWatch
then uses these
metrics
to
create graphs
automatically that
show how performance has changed over time
CloudWatch alarms
Create alarms that automatically
perform actions if the value of your metric has gone above or below a predefined threshold
When
configuring the alarm
You can specify to receive a
notification whenever this alarm is triggered
CloudWatch dashboard
Feature that enables you to
access all the metrics for your resources from a single location
For example
You can use a
CloudWatch
dashboard to monitor the CPU utilization of an
Amazon EC2 instance
The total number of requests made to an
Amazon S3 bucket
, and more
You can even
customize separate dashboards
for
Different business purposes
Applications
Resources
AWS CloudTrail
Records
API calls
for your account
The recorded
information includes
The identity of the
API caller
The time of the
API call
The source
IP address of the API caller
, and more
Think of
CloudTrail
as
a “trail” of breadcrumbs
(or a log of actions) that someone has left behind them
You can
view a complete history of user activity and API calls
for your applications and resources
Recall that you can use
API calls
to provision, manage, and configure your
AWS resources
You can
view a complete history of user activity
and
API calls
for your applications and resources
Events are typically updated in
CloudTrail
within
15 minutes after an API call
Filter events
by specifying
The
time
and
date
that an
API call
occurred
The
user
who requested the action
The
type of resource
that was involved in the
API call
, and more
CloudTrail Insights
Optional feature that allows
CloudTrail
to automatically
detect unusual API activities
in your
AWS account
For example
CloudTrail
Insights might detect that a higher number of
Amazon EC2 instances
than usual have recently launched in your account
Then
review
the
full event details
to determine which actions you need to take next
AWS Trusted Advisor
A web service that inspects your
AWS environment
and provides real-time recommendations in accordance with
AWS best practices
Compares its findings to
AWS best practices in five categories
Cost optimization
Performance
Security
Fault tolerance
Service limits
For the checks in each category
Trusted Advisor
offers a list of recommended actions and additional resources to learn more about
AWS best practices
Its guidance can benefit your company at
all stages of deployment
AWS Trusted Advisor dashboard
Access the
Trusted Advisor dashboard
on the
AWS Management Console
For each category
The green check :check: indicates the number of items for which it detected
no problems
The orange triangle :warning: represents the number of
recommended investigations
The red circle :!: represents the number of
recommended actions
