Monitoring HAQM EC2 instances is critical to proactively identify any underlying issues or to troubleshoot the performance of the instances. HAQM CloudWatch provides a reliable, scalable, and flexible monitoring solution. Customers running EC2 instances in a self-managed environment typically use HAQM CloudWatch metrics to monitor the performance of their instances and set up alarms for […]

To prevent application or database performance hiccups from latency of a disk, it is very critical to monitor disk I/O and usage for performance issues. Disk I/O is the amount of read or write or input/output operations that occur during a period, in other words it measures the data transfer speed between a disk and […]

This post is co-authored by Grzegorz Kaczor from Hapag-Lloyd AG and Michael Graumann and Daniel Moser from AWS. Introduction Establishing observability over the state, performance, health, and security posture of applications is key to successfully operating multi-account workloads in the cloud. As the number and size of workloads increases, finding and correlating all available information […]

Customers that use HAQM CloudWatch to monitor their applications and resources on AWS can accumulate a large number of log streams that are used only briefly, or are no longer required. While there is no charge for maintaining an empty log stream, having potentially thousands of them can be overwhelming, especially while using the CloudWatch […]

Full-stack observability at AWS includes AWS-native, Application Performance Monitoring (APM), and open-source solutions, giving you the ability to understand what is happening across your technology stack at any time. AWS Observability lets you collect, correlate, aggregate, and analyze telemetry in your network, infrastructure, and applications in the cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environments so you can gain […]

Event-driven architectures are gaining attention because they help organizations achieve benefits through the decoupling of services, increasing scalability, adding flexibility, and increasing developers’ agility. As companies grow over time, they need to find ways to integrate (couple) multiple processes and applications (which are usually owned by different teams.) Coupled applications work in certain scenarios where […]

This post shows you how to monitor the days remaining for HAQM EC2 Reserved Instances. The solution uses a custom HAQM CloudWatch metric published via an AWS Lambda function. It creates a CloudWatch alarm and an HAQM Simple Notification Service (HAQM SNS) topic for notification when the alarm exceeds the user-defined threshold. CloudWatch allows you […]

Organizations running critical applications on AWS using fully managed database services such as HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) and HAQM Aurora rely on robust monitoring to ensure that their databases are performant, and cause no service disruptions to their customers. HAQM Managed Grafana is a fully managed and secure data visualization service that you […]

When you have an application that relies on a specific Windows service being up and running, knowing the status of this service can be a useful part of your observability solution. This service status data can be displayed on dashboards, used to create alarms, or used to trigger automated resolutions. This post presents a solution […]
