ManageEngine® Applications Manager Amazon Monitors | ||
Applications Manager automatically discovers all the EC2 and RDS instances, and S3 buckets under your Amazon account. You can then enable monitoring for those instances and buckets as per your requirement.
Amazon accounts are monitored based on the parameters or the attributes listed below. These attributes provide detailed information about the functioning of the Amazon account. You can also configure thresholds to the numerical attributes based on these details and get notified when the thresholds are violated.
The Availability tab shows the availability history of the Amazon account for the past 24 hours or 30 days. The Performance tab shows some key performance indicators of the Amazon account such as Total EC2 Instances running and Total RDS Instances along with heat charts for these attributes.
