Monitoring

AWS Backup works with other AWS tools to empower you to monitor its workloads. These tools include the following:

• Use Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon EventBridge to monitor AWS Backup processes.

  • You can use CloudWatch to track metrics, create alarms, and view dashboards.

  • You can use EventBridge to view and monitor AWS Backup events.

  For more information, see Monitoring AWS Backup events using EventBridge and AWS Backup metrics with Amazon CloudWatch.

• Use AWS CloudTrail to monitor AWS Backup API calls. You can identify the time, source IP, users, and accounts making those calls. For more information, see Logging AWS Backup API calls with CloudTrail.

• Use Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to subscribe to AWS Backup-related topics such as backup, restore, and copy events. For more information, see Notification options with AWS Backup.
