About

Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring and observability service built for DevOps engineers, developers, site reliability engineers (SREs), and IT managers. CloudWatch provides you with data and actionable insights to monitor your applications, respond to system-wide performance changes, optimize resource utilization, and get a unified view of operational health. CloudWatch collects monitoring and operational data in the form of logs, metrics, and events, providing you with a unified view of AWS resources, applications, and services that run on AWS and on-premises servers. You can use CloudWatch to detect anomalous behavior in your environments, set alarms, visualize logs and metrics side by side, take automated actions, troubleshoot issues, and discover insights to keep your applications. CloudWatch alarms watch your metric values against thresholds that you specify or that it creates using ML models to detect anomalous behavior.

About

Power your metrics and alerting with a leading open-source monitoring solution. Prometheus fundamentally stores all data as time series: streams of timestamped values belonging to the same metric and the same set of labeled dimensions. Besides stored time series, Prometheus may generate temporary derived time series as the result of queries. Prometheus provides a functional query language called PromQL (Prometheus Query Language) that lets the user select and aggregate time series data in real time. The result of an expression can either be shown as a graph, viewed as tabular data in Prometheus's expression browser, or consumed by external systems via the HTTP API. Prometheus is configured via command-line flags and a configuration file. While the command-line flags configure immutable system parameters (such as storage locations, amount of data to keep on disk and in memory, etc.).

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • When dealing with such a large web system it's incredibly helpful to have CloudWatch doing a lot of the hard work for you and providing the valuable data and actionable items needed.
  • Easily manages logs period. Easy to install and set up. Time and money saving. Great dashboard customization options to add metrics.
  • Easy implementation. Real time monitoring. Alarms based on custom triggers. Easy integration with AWS Services like SNS or Lambda. Schedule events. Cost-effective - only pay for what you use.

Cons

  • I have found that the support help for this management service is slow to process questions and doesn't have many experts on the team to provide answers to the questions that arise.
  • It works only on Amazon affiliated service otherwise is a good tool to have and better than third party software.
  • Needs to mature into a standalone app which can be integrated with other clouds platforms or tools.
