FAQPage Schema

How do I set up CloudWatch alarms and dashboards for Lambda function errors?▼

Set up CloudWatch alarms and dashboards for Lambda errors by configuring custom metrics and alarm thresholds using AWS CLI. This enables automated monitoring and visualization of application performance issues.

How do I configure X-Ray tracing for application performance monitoring?▼

Configure X-Ray tracing by defining sampling rules and integrating the X-Ray SDK with your application. This allows you to analyze request paths and identify latency bottlenecks across AWS services.

What is the best way to query CloudTrail logs for operational auditing?▼

Query CloudTrail logs for operational auditing by utilizing CloudWatch Logs Insights to search and filter API call history. This setup provides visibility into user activity and resource changes within your AWS infrastructure.

Do I need AWS CLI to configure ADOT collectors for CloudWatch EMF metrics?▼

Yes, you need AWS CLI installed and appropriate permissions to configure ADOT collectors for CloudWatch EMF metrics. The ADOT collector setup requires AWS CLI to deploy configurations that export traces and metrics.

Can I troubleshoot AWS infrastructure performance issues using CloudWatch Logs Insights?▼

Yes, you can troubleshoot AWS infrastructure performance issues using CloudWatch Logs Insights to query log data and correlate metrics. Combined with X-Ray traces, it helps pinpoint the exact root cause of latency or errors.
