Monitor your Amazon Web Services account

Monitoring is an important part of maintaining the reliability, availability, and performance of Amazon Account Management and your other Amazon solutions. Amazon provides the following monitoring tools to watch Account Management, report when something is wrong, and take automatic actions when appropriate:

  • Amazon CloudTrail captures (logs) API calls and related events made by or on behalf of your Amazon Web Services account and writes the log files to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket that you specify. This lets you identify which users and accounts called Amazon, the source IP address from which the calls were made, and when the calls occurred. For more information, see the Amazon CloudTrail User Guide.

  • Amazon EventBridge adds additional automation to your Amazon services by responding automatically to system events, such as application availability issues or resource changes. Events from Amazon services are delivered to EventBridge in near real time. You can write simple rules to indicate which events are of interest to you and which automated actions to take when an event matches a rule. For more information, see the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.
