Amazon CloudWatch is a powerful monitoring and management service offered by AWS that provides data and actionable insights to monitor applications, understand and respond to system-wide performance changes, optimize resource utilization, and gain a unified view of operational health. It enables DevOps engineers, IT admins, and developers to track metrics, monitor log files, and set alarms to quickly react to potential performance issues.
To monitor CloudWatch with ease and precision, Netdata employs the openmetrics (prometheus) exporter. The great advantage of using Netdata as a CloudWatch monitoring tool is that it can ingest data from any Prometheus exporter. This setup allows for automated dashboards and alerts, which eliminate the need for a standalone Prometheus server or Grafana. By bridging these functionalities, tools for monitoring CloudWatch become highly intuitive and efficient.
