Overall Satisfaction with Amazon CloudWatch
We used Amazon CloudWatch in our company for capturing the logs of our applications. We decided to use this AWS service as all of our infrastructure is based in Amazon. We saw a high impact in using it. We really like that we can export our docker logs to AWS, which is great for developers, this way they can check any issue they encounter in CloudWatch.
- Easy to use
- Alarms available
- A little bit expensive
- When using docker, this is the best way for capturing the logs
We thought about using Logstash for capturing our data. But we encountered several configuration issues, so as I mentioned before, if you're using AWS, the best way to do this is using the service they offer, as you don't encounter configuration problems. This is why I consider Logstash being a great option not the best for working with AWS.
