Amazon CloudWatch

Version: AWS Log Forwarder v1.0.10 and above

Amazon CloudWatch is a component of the Amazon Web Services that monitor the AWS resources and the customer applications running on the Amazon infrastructure. CloudWatch enables real-time monitoring of the AWS resources such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud EC2 instances, Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes, Elastic Load Balancing, and Amazon Relational Database Service instances. The application automatically collects and provides metrics for the CPU utilization, latency, and request count. Users can also stipulate additional metrics to be monitored, such as memory usage, transaction volumes, or error rates.

Netsurion's Open XDR platform monitors events from Amazon CloudWatch by parsing the AWS CloudTrail logs and triggers from Amazon EventBridge. Dashboards and reports in Netsurion's Open XDR platform will track the overall actions performed related to the Amazon CloudWatch service to keep you informed about its activities. It will trigger alerts whenever an action that is critical to the service is carried out.

Once configured to deliver events to Netsurion's Open XDR platform, the alerts, dashboards, and reports can be configured into Netsurion's Open XDR platform.
