AWS Monitoring Tools for AWS Cloud Instances

Optimize performance with high-visibility, proactive AWS monitoring

Get actionable insights for your AWS instances from a unified dashboard

SolarWinds® Server & Application Monitor (SAM) includes AWS cloud monitoring tools built to provide visibility into your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances from a single pane of glass. The AWS monitoring tools in SAM include intuitive charts and non-intrusive architecture, complete with a web interface to help support straightforward cloud integration. The CloudWatch API can gather and display metrics in the Orion® Platform and—in case you plan to poll additional metrics—allows you to monitor your AWS cloud as a node. You can also terminate, stop, or reboot any AWS instance monitored as a node.

Auto-discover instances for comprehensive AWS monitoring

Automatically discover and view all instances deployed in your AWS account. The AWS cloud monitoring tools in SAM are built to find all EC2 cloud instances and Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes in your cloud infrastructure, immediately start monitoring, and alert you to new instances. SAM provides multi-cloud monitoring for AWS by polling service APIs for performance and status metrics and aggregating the AWS monitoring data to help you monitor, manage, and troubleshoot issues. SAM consolidates a range of monitoring data, helping eliminate the need for multiple AWS monitoring tools.

Monitor relevant performance metrics and configure alerts for cloud issues

The AWS monitoring tools in SAM provide a comprehensive view of how your cloud services and applications are affecting overall performance. The AWS application performance monitoring features also allow you to automatically send alerts to the right stakeholder for problems like AWS throttling, AWS exceeded limits, polling issues, health status, and other thresholds. Though the default settings can provide visibility and notifications for critical and warning thresholds, SAM also allows you to customize monitoring and alerts to suit the needs of your IT environment.

Support a hybrid environment with multi-cloud monitoring for AWS

SAM is designed to help seamlessly integrate AWS application performance monitoring and can provide ongoing insight into on-premises and cloud server metrics for better mapping of your complete hybrid IT environment. SAM consolidates data from cloud-based AWS monitoring with information collected from on-premises and VM services to create a unified view of resources, applications, and services all in the same dashboard. This allows you to more easily compare and correlate metrics and performance issues.

Troubleshoot cloud performance more efficiently with AWS application monitoring tools

The AWS cloud monitoring tools in SAM offer a simplified approach to monitoring cloud health metrics and correlating historical performance data across managed applications. With the Performance Analysis Dashboard feature, or PerfStack, you can incorporate additional data from other Orion Platform-managed nodes into charts and graphs for visual overviews alongside cloud metrics. This can provide a critical overview of cloud performance issues, allowing you to drag and drop relevant performance data on adjustable timelines for a better understanding of how and when the issue occurred.
