Monitoring

Amazon provides multiple services to monitor and manage your infrastructure and applications on Amazon. You can use services like Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon CloudTrail to monitor your underlying infrastructure and APIs, respectively.

CloudWatch provides ready-to-use key performance indicators (KPIs) that you can use to monitor both CPU and disk utilization.

You can also create custom metrics for monitoring SQL server.

With CloudTrail, you can log, continuously monitor, and retain account activity related to actions across your Amazon infrastructure. Amazon CloudTrail is enabled on all Amazon accounts and records your account activity upon account creation. You can view and download the last 90 days of your account activity for create, modify, and delete operations of supported services without the need to manually set up CloudTrail.
