Monitoring Amazon IoT Events to maintain reliability, availability, and performance
Monitoring is an important part of maintaining the reliability, availability, and performance of Amazon IoT Events and your Amazon solutions. You should collect monitoring data from all parts of your Amazon solution so that you can more easily debug a multi-point failure if one occurs. Before you start monitoring Amazon IoT Events, you should create a monitoring plan that includes answers to the following questions:
-
What are your monitoring goals?
-
Which resources will you monitor?
-
How often will you monitor these resources?
-
Which monitoring tools will you use?
-
Who will perform the monitoring tasks?
-
Who should be notified when something goes wrong?
The next step is to establish a baseline for normal Amazon IoT Events performance in your environment, by measuring performance at various times and under different load conditions. As you monitor Amazon IoT Events, store historical monitoring data so that you can compare it with current performance data, identify normal performance patterns and performance anomalies, and devise methods to address issues.
For example, if you're using Amazon EC2, you can monitor CPU utilization, disk I/O, and network utilization for your instances. When performance falls outside your established baseline, you might need to reconfigure or optimize the instance to reduce CPU utilization, improve disk I/O, or reduce network traffic.
