Amazon CloudWatch in Amazon Web Services in China
Amazon CloudWatch monitors your Amazon Web Services in China resources and the applications you run on Amazon Web Services in China in real time. You can use CloudWatch to collect and track metrics, which are the variables you want to measure for your resources and applications. CloudWatch alarms send notifications or automatically make changes to the resources you are monitoring based on rules that you define.
Amazon CloudWatch Events delivers a near real-time stream of system events that describe changes in Amazon Web Services (Amazon) resources. Using simple rules that you can quickly set up, you can match events and route them to one or more target functions or streams.
You can use Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor, store, and access your log files from Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, Amazon CloudTrail, and other sources.
