This makes it difficult to identify performance bottlenecks and troubleshoot issues effectively. By implementing a holistic AWS cloud monitoring strategy with Applications Manager, you can bridge these gaps. Multi-tiered AWS infrastructure monitoring with Applications Manager provides a unified view across all layers of your AWS infrastructure, including: ### Application Tier Monitor application services for building and deploying applications on AWS like EC2 (virtual machines), Lambda (serverless compute), SQS (message queuing), SNS (simple notification service), and ECS (container orchestration). Ensure your application logic executes flawlessly by tracking execution times and error rates. ### Database Tier Leverage specialized database monitoring to gain deeper visibility into RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift performance. Track query latency, throughput, connections, and resource usage to detect bottlenecks early, optimize queries, and ensure high availability across your AWS environment. ### Infrastructure Tier Track resource utilization of storage services such as S3 and EBS (Elastic Block Store), monitor network elements like ELB (Elastic Load Balancer), and ensure critical infrastructure metrics such as CPU, memory, and disk I/O remain within optimal ranges. ## Track critical performance indicators (KPIs) of your AWS resources ![AWS Monitoring Software analyzing infrastructure tier metrics](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/aws-kpi.svg) Applications Manager empowers you to unlock the full potential of your business-critical applications running on AWS. Our comprehensive AWS cloud monitoring tool provides granular visibility into the AWS architecture. This enables you to track key performance indicators (KPIs) for a wide range of Amazon services, including EC2 instances, DynamoDB, and RDS — including detailed metrics on CPU credit usage for burstable instances and read/write latency for storage volumes. This includes resource utilization, costs, request statistics, and target statuses — all tailored to specific services and instances. Applications Manager's intuitive dashboard consolidates and displays AWS monitoring metrics in a single, clear view, empowering you to make informed decisions about resource allocation, cost optimization, and overall cloud strategy. ## Pinpoint the root cause of performance issues affecting your cloud applications ![Detailed AWS monitoring metrics and graphs for EC2 and RDS](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/aws-pinpoint.svg) Applications Manager's AWS monitoring software enables you to identify the source of various performance bottlenecks with its intelligent fault analysis system. Applications Manager allows you to: - Detect and resolve performance issues before they affect end users. - Set up threshold and performance anomaly profiles for various AWS monitoring metrics to get instant alerts when they are violated. - Identify gradual performance degradation and ensure your application always runs at peak performance devoid of anomalies. - Associate alerts with notification actions to trigger SMS or email notifications or configure automated actions wherever required. ## Gain insights to streamline your migration to AWS ![Comprehensive AWS Monitoring Dashboard for root cause analysis](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/aws-streamline.svg) While migrating to the AWS cloud can offer many benefits, achieving it seamlessly can be challenging. With Applications Manager, you can expedite your migration to AWS by monitoring key metrics during migration to identify bottlenecks or performance issues. This allows for real-time adjustments to optimize the migration process. Proactive identification of issues during migration minimizes downtime and ensures a smooth transition. The tool auto-discovers resources and provides comprehensive performance insights into your AWS environment to help you make informed decisions before, during, and after the migration process. ## Manage your AWS cloud costs with ease ![AWS Cost Management and Optimization reports](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/aws-cloud-cost.svg) Enhance the cost-effectiveness of your AWS environment.

Employing disparate tools for each cloud provider also adds complexity. By monitoring AWS with a platform-agnostic cloud observability solution like Applications Manager, you gain comprehensive insights into your AWS infrastructure without complexity or metric-based pricing (no charges per metric or CPUs). Automated discovery streamlines setup, minimizing configuration time and effort. Whether managing a single application or a complex multi-tier architecture, Applications Manager scales to meet evolving needs. ## More on AWS Monitoring ### What is AWS monitoring? **AWS monitoring** is performed to track application workloads and resources actively running in your AWS environment. The AWS monitor keeps track of various cloud metrics to help improve overall application performance. ### Why is AWS monitoring important? AWS application monitoring plays a crucial role in identifying the source of performance bottlenecks with a threshold-breach alerting system. This helps resolve performance issues before they directly affect end users. ### How to monitor AWS services? AWS web services monitoring requires administrators to authorize the monitoring tool to access their AWS environment. Admins can then collect metrics, visualize resource usage, and alert on potential anomalies across supported services. Solutions like Applications Manager provide operational visibility into every microservice within the Amazon cloud infrastructure. ## Related Resources ![AWS Monitoring System - ManageEngine Applications Manager](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/images/apm-related-resource.svg) ### Related links - [AWS Performance monitoring](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/aws-performance-monitoring.html?aws-monitoring) - [Amazon DynamoDB monitoring](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/amazon-dynamodb-monitoring.html?aws-monitoring) ### Quick links - [Blogs](https://blogs.manageengine.com/application-performance-2?aws-monitoring) - [E-books](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/document.html#whitepaper-ebook) - [Videos](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/document.html#video) - [Case studies](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/customer.html?aws-monitoring) - [Awards and Recognitions](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/awards.html?aws-monitoring) ### Blogs - [AWS monitoring: Metrics that matter](https://blogs.manageengine.com/application-performance-2/appmanager/12/aws-monitoring-metrics-that-matter.html?aws-monitoring) - [AWS cloud monitoring: Why is it essential?](https://blogs.manageengine.com/application-performance-2/appmanager/16/aws-cloud-monitoring-services.html?aws-monitoring) ### Help - [Amazon Web Services Monitoring with Applications Manager](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/help/aws-monitoring-tools.html?aws-monitoring)
