Monitoring and tracking the use of Amazon Q Developer

Monitoring is an important part of maintaining the reliability, availability, and performance of Amazon Q Developer and your other AWS solutions. AWS provides the following monitoring tools and features to monitor and record Amazon Q Developer activity:

• AWS CloudTrail captures API calls and related events made by or on behalf of your AWS account and delivers the log files to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket that you specify. You can identify which users and accounts called AWS, the source IP address from which the calls were made, and when the calls occurred. For more information, see Logging Amazon Q Developer API calls using AWS CloudTrail.

• Amazon CloudWatch monitors your AWS resources and the applications you run on AWS in real time. You can collect and track metrics, create customized dashboards, and set alarms that notify you or take actions when a specified metric reaches a threshold that you specify. For example, you can have CloudWatch track the number of times that Amazon Q has been invoked on your account, or the number of daily active users. For more information, see Monitoring Amazon Q Developer with Amazon CloudWatch.
