Love that cloudwatch events can be used to trigger AWS Lambda functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of intelligence analyzing AWS logs. We currently analyze our AWS CloudWatch logs using Splunk for lack of a better alternative with CloudWatch. Our approach is to make the CloudWatch events trigger Lambda which then sends the logs to Splunk for processing. Painful and expensive but it works.

The search is also slow and needs improvement compared to more modern tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The service can be a little costly. Also, the live metrics are sometimes not instant and take some time to refresh. So the dashboard does not always have fresh data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CloudWatch's interface can be kind of clunky sometimes, with some options being a few layers deep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides a good monitoring service for the other amazon tools like Ec2, Volumes, Cloudformation, etc. For viewing logs for a particular period, it can be done using the cloudwatch creating logbook. The metrics provided by cloudwatch are very detailed and are easily understood by the users. Whatever things are required to be monitored or triggered are first created using the metrics, and then the process is done. The logs are also easily readable, and troubleshooting can be done. For putting the alarms, it is merged with metrics and is allowed to trigger easily—overall an excellent tool by amazon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No such cons right now, but the tutorials for AWS cloudwatch should have more documentation that is adequately understood as the help from the support team also sometimes is a big challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is possible to gather resource metrics data and store it in the Metrics service. In addition to log data gathering, storage, and archiving, the Logging service is useful; also includes a rudimentary log viewer and query functionality, which is referred to as "CloudWatch Logs Insights."
