Overall Satisfaction with Amazon CloudWatch
We are in the first stages of migrating to the AWS cloud. Beginning one of AWS's own offerings, CloudWatch is being used as the foundation for our security and performance monitoring. Together with CloudWatch Events, we are being alerted on stuff we didn't even know was happening
Pros
- It collects a lot of logs if you want it to. As always in the cloud, money is the primary bottleneck. :-)
- CloudWatch Events is a very effective way to automate responses and any shape or form.
Cons
- No real issues. It's a basic service, but that also means you can expand from the basics yourself.
- Using CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and CloudWatch events allows you to create Security Automation, which means more security, quicker security, and more efficient management of it.
Nagios is nice, but not as coupled with AWS cloud as CloudWatch. You might even think of cases you would use them both.
