In addition to this, customers can now also monitor custom logs and log patterns on CloudWatch Application Insights, along with metrics, logs, traces, and events from across their applications, operating system, and underlying infrastructure and other application resources. CloudWatch Application Insights will look for these custom-defined warning and erroneous patterns in customers’ logs, to detect and notify customers of ongoing problems impacting the health of applications. Lastly, customers can now use CloudWatch Application Insights to additionally monitor Amazon S3 buckets used by their applications, along with other application resources including Amazon EC2, RDS, Lambda, and SQS. All these features collectively offer customers a wider visibility into the health of their applications, and help customers reduce their mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR).
