You can now monitor and troubleshoot your HAQM MQ message brokers in near-real time by publishing logs from your HAQM MQ brokers to HAQM CloudWatch Logs.  

HAQM MQ is a managed message broker service for Apache ActiveMQ that makes it easy to set up and operate message brokers in the cloud. HAQM CloudWatch Logs allows you to monitor, store, and access your log files from a range of AWS services, and from your own applications.

With this new feature, HAQM MQ supports publishing of both the general log and audit log to CloudWatch Logs, allowing you to maintain continuous visibility into your HAQM MQ broker activity. For example, you can set up CloudWatch alarms to notify you of broker reboots, or troubleshoot configuration errors. To get started with publishing logs from HAQM MQ to CloudWatch Logs, visit the HAQM MQ management console or download the latest AWS SDK or CLI.

For more information, see Configuring HAQM MQ to Publish Logs to HAQM CloudWatch Logs in the HAQM MQ Developer Guide. For pricing details, see HAQM CloudWatch pricing.
