# Logging and monitoring in Amazon ElastiCache
<a name="MonitoringECMetrics"></a>

To manage your cache, it's important that you know how your caches are performing. ElastiCache generates metrics that are published to Amazon CloudWatch Logs for monitoring your cache performance. In addition, ElastiCache generates events when significant changes happen on your cache resources (e.g. a new cache is created, or a cache is deleted).
