Overall Satisfaction with Amazon CloudWatch
Amazon Cloudwatch has been useful for aggregating metrics around our cloud environment, as well as a way to set up alerts based on various criteria for those environments. In addition to alerting and metrics, Cloudwatch has a logging facility to aggregate logs from various Amazon sources. It has given us a good view of our AWS infrastructure.
- Set up alarms to alert teams and is a useful monitoring tool.
- Integration into other products.
- Dashboards.
- It takes time to get a hang of the tool.
- The graph metrics and view could be improved.
- Has helped consolidate AWS alerting into one place and saved us on a handful of occasions.
- Expensive
