Amazon CloudWatch: The Solution For Real-Time Monitoring

What is Amazon CloudWatch?

Amazon CloudWatch allows you to monitor your Amazon Web Services (AWS) apps and resources in real time. CloudWatch may be used to collect and track metrics, which are characteristics you can measure for your resources and apps.

Every AWS service you use has metrics automatically displayed on the CloudWatch home page. Additionally, you may design your own dashboards to show analytics about your own apps as well as bespoke sets of metrics of your choosing.

When a threshold is crossed, you may set up alerts that monitor metrics and send messages or that automatically modify the resources you are keeping an eye on. For instance, you may keep an eye on your Amazon EC2 instances‘ CPU utilization and disk reads and writes, and then use that information to decide whether to start more instances to accommodate the increasing strain. To save money, you may also utilize this data to halt instances that aren’t being used.

CloudWatch gives you system-wide insight into operational health, application performance, and resource usage.

How Amazon CloudWatch works

In essence, Amazon CloudWatch is a storehouse for measurements. Metrics are entered into the repository by an AWS service like Amazon EC2, and statistics are retrieved using those metrics. Statistics on your own custom metrics may also be retrieved if you add them to the repository.

Metrics may be used to compute statistics, and the CloudWatch interface can then display the data graphically.

When specific conditions are fulfilled, you may set up alert actions to stop, start, or terminate an Amazon EC2 instance. Additionally, you may set up alerts to start Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) and Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling on your behalf. See Alarms for further details on setting up CloudWatch alarms.

Resources for AWS Cloud computing are kept in highly accessible data center buildings. Each data center facility is situated in a particular geographic area, referred to as a Region, to offer extra scalability and dependability. To achieve the highest level of failure isolation and stability, each region is designed to be totally separated from the others. Although metrics are kept independently in Regions, you may combine information from many Regions using CloudWatch’s cross-Region feature.

Why Use CloudWatch?

A service called Amazon CloudWatch keeps an eye on apps, reacts to changes in performance, maximizes resource use, and offers information on the state of operations. CloudWatch provides a consistent picture of operational health, enables users to create alarms, and automatically responds to changes by gathering data from various AWS services.

Advantages Of Amazon CloudWatch

Is AWS Elasticsearch Developer’s True Hero?

Elasticsearch is a free open source search engine, which is used for log analytics, full-text search, application monitoring and more. It makes easy to deploy, operate and scale Elasticsearch clusters in the AWS Cloud. We can get direct access to the Elasticsearch APIs. It provides Scalability, Availability and Security for the workload process run.

Elasticsearch architecture

The AWS Elasticsearch Service Architecture is very dynamically to allow create instances, remove instances, change instance sizes, change storage configuration and customize to make other changes. This Elasticsearch allows to search and analyse the data log. It consists of three components.

Logstash – is used to collect and transferred to the Elasticsearch.

Elasticsearch –facilitates search and analyze with the logs stored in it. It acts as a database.

Kibana –Kibana enables the data visualization on the dashboard that uses ELK stack. This tool provides a quick insight of the documents using visualization Kibana’s dashboard contains interactive diagrams, geospatial data, and graphs to visualize complex queries that let you search, view, or interact with the stored data. Kibana helps you to perform advanced data analysis and visualize your data in a variety of tables, charts, and maps.

Get started with an Elastic Cluster with AWS

First, create an AWS account and follow the following steps to claim your domain.

Tap on to “Create a new domain”

Select on the appropriated Deployment type and select the Elasticsearch version. Click Next.

Enter a domain name and choose the Instance type in the prompt page and Click Next.

Follow to enter the “Dedicated master instances”

Click Next.

After the Cluster Configuration, you will be taken to the Set up access part. In the Setup access part, enable the specific set of users who can access your ElasticSearch cluster. There are two options — VPC access and Public access. Once you select one of the options and confirm your entries your new cluster is created.

Things to consider

1. Expandable

Amazon Elasticsearch Service provides to monitor your cluster through Amazon CloudWatch metrics.

We can change the cluster in various size from top or bottom within single clicks in the AWS management console or via a single API call.

There is a customizable setting available based on the range of instance types and storage options including SSD-powered EBS volumes.

2.Integrations

Many integrations available in the AWS Elasticsearch such as Kibana for data visualization, Amazon CloudTrail is used to audit API calls configure in AWS ES domains and integrate with Amazon Amazon S3, Amazon Kinesis, and Amazon DynamoDB for loading streaming data into Amazon ES.

3.Guarantee

It guarantees to provide a secure environment and easy integration with Amazon VPC and VPC security groups. There is an availability to access the Identity and Access Management (IAM) control. It provides authentication for Kibana and Data encryption with node-to-node encryption.

4.Availability

Amazon ES supports the different zones in two geographical locations and various node allocations with a large number of zones in the same region itself. It manages the cluster and notifies the damaged nodes automatically.

Conclusion

This article has covered what AWS Elastic Search means, its benefits, what happens between and how you can use it.

Save Big with Amazon CloudWatch: Affordable Log Storage

Amazon CloudWatch log class for infrequent access logs

Today, Amazon CloudWatch Logs unveiled the Infrequent Access log class, a new log class. With this new log class, customers can more affordably consolidate all of their logs in one location by providing a customized set of capabilities for infrequently visited logs at a lower cost.

The volume of logs created grows together with the scale and growth of customers’ applications. Many consumers are compelled to make difficult compromises in order to reduce the rise in logging expenses. Some customers, for instance, restrict the amount of logs their applications generate, which may impair the application’s visibility, or select a different solution for certain log categories, which increases the complexity and inefficiencies associated with managing various logging solutions.

Customers might, for example, provide CloudWatch Logs the logs required for real-time analytics and alerts and send a less expensive, less feature-rich solution the more detailed logs required for debugging and troubleshooting. Ultimately, these workarounds may affect the application’s observability as users are need to switch between several solutions in order to view their logs.

With the help of the Infrequent Access log class, you can use CloudWatch to create a comprehensive observability solution by centralizing all of your logs in one location for economical consumption, querying, and storing. The cost per gigabyte of ingestion for Infrequent Access is half that of Standard log class. For clients that don’t require sophisticated features like Live Tail, metric extraction, warning, or data protection functions that the Standard log class offers it offers a customized set of capabilities. You may still take advantage of fully managed ingestion, storage, and deep diving using CloudWatch Logs Insights with Infrequent Access.

How often to use the new log class for Infrequent Access

When you have a fresh workload that doesn’t require the advanced functionality offered by the Standard log class, use the Infrequent Access log class. It’s crucial to keep in mind that once a log group is created with a certain log class, it cannot be changed afterwards.

Because debug logs and web server logs are typically verbose and don’t require much of the more advanced features offered by the Standard log class, they are a good fit for the Infrequent Access log class.

An Internet of Things (IoT) fleet sending detailed logs that are only accessible for post-event forensic analysis is another excellent workload for the Infrequent Access log class. Additionally, because the Infrequent Access log type will be queried seldom, it is a desirable option for workloads where logs must be kept for compliance.

Getting started

Create a new log group in the CloudWatch Logs console and choose the new Infrequent Access log class to begin utilizing the new log class. The AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), AWS CloudFormation, AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK), and AWS SDKs are the only ways to establish log groups using the new Infrequent Access log type.

You can use the newly generated log group in your workloads as soon as it’s created. You will set up a web application to submit debug logs to this log group for the purposes of this demonstration. You can return to the log group and view a fresh log stream after the web application has run for some time.

CloudWatch Logs Insights will be displayed when you choose a log stream.

You may make queries, search those logs for pertinent information, and rapidly examine all the logs in one location by using the same comfortable CloudWatch Logs Insights experience you receive with Standard Class.

Accessible right now

With the exception of the China and GovCloud regions, all AWS regions now offer the new Infrequent Access log class. You can get started with it and benefit from a fully managed, more economical method of gathering, storing, and analyzing your logs.
