Cloud Watch

Amazon Cloud Watch provides a reliable, scalable, and flexible monitoring solution that you can
start using within minutes. You no longer need to set up, manage, and scale your own monitoring
systems and infrastructure.

 Use Cloud Watch to monitor your AWS resources and the applications you run on AWS in
real time.
 Use Cloud Watch Events to send system events from AWS resources to AWS Lambda
functions, Amazon SNS topics, streams in Amazon Kinesis, and other target types.
 Use Cloud Watch Logs to monitor, store, and access your log files from Amazon EC2
instances, AWS Cloud Trail, or other sources.

Features & Benefits

Monitor Amazon EC2

View metrics for CPU utilization, data transfer, and disk usage activity from Amazon EC2 instances
(Basic Monitoring) for no additional charge. For an additional charge, Cloud Watch provides
Detailed Monitoring for EC2 instances with higher resolution and metric aggregation. No additional
software needs to be installed.

Monitor Other AWS Resources

Monitor metrics on Amazon DynamoDB tables, Amazon EBS volumes, Amazon RDS DB instances,
Amazon Elastic MapReduce job flows, Elastic Load Balancers, Amazon SQS queues, Amazon SNS
topics, and more for no additional charge. No additional software needs to be installed.

Monitor Custom Metrics

Submit Custom Metrics generated by your own applications via a simple API request and have them
monitored by Amazon Cloud Watch. You can send and store metrics that are important to your
application’s operational performance to help you troubleshoot and spot trends.

Monitor and Store Logs

You can use Cloud Watch Logs to monitor and troubleshoot your systems and applications using
your existing system, application, and custom log files. You can send your existing system,
application, and custom log files to Cloud Watch Logs and monitor these logs in near real-time. This
can help you better understand and operate your systems and applications, and you can store your
logs using highly durable, low-cost storage for later access.

Set Alarms

Set alarms on any of your metrics to send you notifications or take other automated actions. For
example, when a specific Amazon EC2 metric crosses your alarm threshold, you can use Auto
Scaling to dynamically add or remove EC2 instances or send you a notification.

View Graphs and Statistics

Amazon Cloud watch Dashboards enable you to create re-usable graphs of AWS resources and
custom metrics so you can quickly monitor operational status and identify issues at a glance. Metric
data is kept for a period of fifteen months enabling you to view up to the minute data and also

historical data. Amazon Cloud Watch can load all the metrics in your account for search and
graphing with the AWS Management Console. This includes logs, AWS resource metrics, and
application metrics that you provide.

Monitor and React to Resource Changes

Cloud Watch Events provides a stream of events describing changes to your AWS resources. You
can easily build workflows that automatically take actions you define, such as invoking an AWS
Lambda function, when an event of interest occurs.

Types of Status Checks

There are two types of status checks: system status checks and instance status checks.

System Status Checks

Monitor the AWS systems on which your instance runs. These checks detect underlying problems
with your instance that require AWS involvement to repair. When a system status check fails, you
can choose to wait for AWS to fix the issue, or you can resolve it yourself. For instances backed by
Amazon EBS, you can stop and start the instance yourself, which in most cases migrates it to a new
host computer. For instances backed by instance store, you can terminate and replace the instance.

The following are examples of problems that can cause system status checks to fail:

 Loss of network connectivity


 Loss of system power
 Software issues on the physical host
 Hardware issues on the physical host that impact network reachability

Instance Status Checks

Monitor the software and network configuration of your individual instance. These checks detect
problems that require your involvement to repair. When an instance status check fails, typically you
will need to address the problem yourself (for example, by rebooting the instance or by making
instance configuration changes).

The following are examples of problems that can cause instance status checks to fail:

 Failed system status checks


 Incorrect networking or startup configuration
 Exhausted memory
 Corrupted file system
 Incompatible kernel

Viewing Status Checks

Amazon EC2 provides you with several ways to view and work with status checks.

Viewing Status Using the Console

You can view status checks using the AWS Management Console.

Hi-Tech Learning Academy Ph: 7092 90 91 92 | 82 20 21 7640

To view status checks using the console


 Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.
 In the navigation pane, choose Instances.
 On the Instances page, the Status Checks column lists the operational status of each
instance.
 To view the status of a specific instance, select the instance, and then choose the Status
Checks tab.

If you have an instance with a failed status check and the instance has been unreachable for over 20
minutes, choose AWS Support to submit a request for assistance. To troubleshoot system or
instance status check failures yourself
