With the addition of SQL Server FCI, customers now have an easy path for setting up and managing monitoring for this fault tolerant database setup. Additionally, Launch Wizard, the service which helps you deploy applications on AWS, recently added support for SQL Server FCI which means you can now easily setup the database and observability for it all within your Launch Wizard deployment. As part of the new feature launch, we’ve added support for monitoring of Amazon’s managed file system FSx for Windows. Now CloudWatch Application Insights can automatically discover your FSx file systems and setup monitoring for these resources as part of your application.
Amazon CloudWatch Application Insights provides automated setup of observability for your enterprise applications and underlying AWS resources and can be accessed via the Insights tab in CloudWatch left panel. It creates Amazon CloudWatch Automatic Dashboards to visualize problem details, accelerate troubleshooting, and help reduce mean time to resolution.
