Amazon CloudWatch is the best in business for monitoring your Amazon Lambda. The ability to set and remove alarms with Lambda is very easy. This is very much useful for debugging your script that you have prepared by getting logs itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The restriction to Amazon Resources is the main limitation I found for this service. I think it can grow very much if it expands its reach to other services. I also feel some difficulties when trying to analyse different metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Readily available SDK, and package support in Python. Don't know about other languages.

It being aws, there is the robustness that is expected from it. SDK support is good enough for python. I was even able to find third party open source libraries as wrapper around the SDK which make using CloudWatch for logging easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have only used it for logging.

No way to visually differentiate between logs. Inability to filter logs properly.

As usual AWS lacks the intuitive UI it could really use to make it easier for the users to leverage the power AWS provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is good to collect logs and fix problems, the alarms work well and I think it's cool to be able to customize the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It slows down the collection of logs and I find it difficult to integrate applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Instead of having to use a third party tool, I can use the built in product to store my logs and create alerts and alarms based on information in the logs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not overly intuitive. While I'm able to make sure i'm getting the correct alerts, it requires a bit of trial and error to ensure its reporting correctly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Managing log retention periods is very simple with CloudWatch, and can be configured on a per-group basis. Monitoring host performance is very easy when coupled with the CloudWatch Agent on an EC2 instance. A simple installation and configuration replaces an entire 3rd-party host monitoring stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, the CloudWatch dashboard does not provide the ability to create histograms of discrete counts. This makes it difficult to, for instance, use CloudWatch to quickly identify specific IP addresses that have a high request volume in a certain period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about CloudWatch is the ability to set up and remove alarms that can communicate with Amazon's Lambda service to auto run functions. This is useful whenever you need to script something whenever a certain usage level is reached. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With so many different metric options available it can be kind of difficult at times to get the exact type of metric you want without having to have a multitude of metric options on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
