Logging and monitoring Amazon MQ brokers

Monitoring is an important part of maintaining the reliability, availability, and performance of your AWS solutions. You should collect monitoring data from all of the parts of your AWS solution so that you can more easily debug a multi-point failure if one occurs. AWS provides several tools for monitoring your Amazon MQ resources and responding to potential incidents:

You can use CloudWatch to view and analyze metrics for your Amazon MQ broker. You can view and analyze your broker metrics from the CloudWatch console, the AWS CLI, or the CloudWatch AWS CLI. CloudWatch metrics for Amazon MQ are automatically polled from the broker and then pushed to CloudWatch every minute. For ActiveMQ brokers, CloudWatch monitors only the first 1000 destinations.. For RabbitMQ brokers, CloudWatch monitors only the first 500 destinations, ordered by number of consumers..
