CloudWatch
AWS's monitoring and observability service for resources and applications.
Definition
AWS CloudWatch is a monitoring and observability service that provides real-time monitoring of AWS resources and applications. It allows users to collect and track metrics, monitor log files, set alarms, and automatically react to changes in AWS resources.
In depth
CloudWatch is the native monitoring layer for AWS, collecting metrics from over 70 AWS services automatically. While CloudWatch is powerful within the AWS ecosystem, organizations running multi-cloud or hybrid environments often need to centralize CloudWatch metrics alongside application traces and logs from non-AWS sources. obseria.io ingests CloudWatch metrics via the AWS integration, enriching them with application-level traces and custom business metrics to provide unified end-to-end visibility across your entire stack.
