This course covers:
- The introduction to Amazon CloudWatch and its core components
- How to use the CloudWatch console to monitor performance for different metrics and statistics
- How to create our own metrics by publishing custom information to CloudWatch for real time monitoring
- Setting up alarms that we can use to send notifications, trigger actions in auto scaling groups to react to application demand dynamically, and to control and optimize our Amazon Web Services costs
- How to monitor Application Programming Interface (API) calls with Amazon Web Services (AWS) CloudTrail
- How to define metrics and create alarms for events that are happening inside of our Amazon Web Services (AWS) account
- How to monitor log files with CloudWatch, how we can gather and centrally store log file data and crate alarms, and how we can perform analysis based on common text patterns
