Check out my latest tutorial on safely testing CloudWatch alarms without the real-world triggers. Feedback appreciated. https://youtube.com/watch?v=3v_X53RmYf0 #AWS #CloudWatch

Some how #CloudWatch alarms had been created in the Tokyo region and kept bugging me. Thankfully #AWS support helped me find them and got them removed 🙌🏼

Amazon #CloudWatch Agent adds support for OpenTelemetry traces and #AWS X-Ray https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/08/amazon-cloudwatch-agent-opentelemetry-traces-x-ray/

#CLOUDWATCH IS NOT A DATABASE.

Amazon CloudWatch supports dashboard variables
https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/06/amazon-cloudwatch-dashboard-variables/
You can now define set of labels such as 'application environment', 'region' or a 'customer id' and switch between those data sets based on the selection of label by using dropdown selectors, radio buttons or input boxes.

Announcing Live Tail in #aws #CloudWatch #Logs, providing #realtime exploration of logs

https://aws.amazon.com/de/about-aws/whats-new/2023/06/live-tail-amazon-cloudwatch-logs/

Rather disappointed in the 5 minute (!) response time of #AWS #EC2 Auto-scaling 2 year later. And without the additional cost of detailed EC2 metrics, it would even be 15 minutes.

The recent announcement of #AWS #CloudWatch Live Tail support is very useful for watching logged events in real time. Seeing the events as they occur can make understanding what your system is doing much easier by observing multiple log groups at once. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/06/live-tail-amazon-cloudwatch-logs/

Updated AWS::CloudWatch::MetricStream MetricSTreamFilter

In the MetricStreamFilter resource, use MetricNames to specify individual metrics to include or exclude from a metric stream.

#AWS #organizations #demo #project update from Maolte Technical Solutions Limited. #security #hub findings down to 9 with 2nd #cloudtrail and several #metrics running off key #filters in #cloudwatch, which are now have an #alarm. Do stay tuned for developments towards the end of the week... #awscommunity #cloudinfrastructure #cloud

#slf4j-aws-lambda is updated to follow upstream: 3.0.6

#demo #project on #aws #organizations continues with the #cloudwatch dashboard set up for #cloudinfrastructure ... more to follow #cloudarchitecture #cloud

TIL CloudWatch has a build in function to get service quotas, no need for an exporter to a custom metric

Updated AWS::CloudWatch::MetricStream

In the MetricStream resource, use IncludeLinkedAccountsMetrics to specify whether the metric stream should metric streams from source accounts, if the metric stream is created in a monitoring account.

Currently, no observability services can track #eventbrige or a chain like #apigw to #sns to #sqs. Pipes' arrival makes it even worse. I am happy about #cloudwatch EMF. It is overall cheaper than paying third-party services, and I can track all I want.
I do not have a nice ServiceMap, but I have all I need for a dashboard.

@vkazulkin
Create a new Logs Insights query against your lambda log group:

filter @type="REPORT" | fields greatest(@initDuration, 0) + @duration as duration, ispresent(@initDuration) as coldStart| stats count(*) as count,
pct(duration, 50) as p50,
pct(duration, 75) as p75,
pct(duration, 90) as p90,
pct(duration, 99) as p99,
max(duration) as max by coldStart

#aws #lambda #cloudwatch

@vkazulkin I can send you a cloudwatch query to check the cold start without writing another lambda #cloudwatch #aws

monitor >9 QUADRILLION metric observations, ingest >5 EXABYTES of logs monthly 😮
