Logging and monitoring in Amazon SNS
This topic provides instructions on how to log and monitor Amazon SNS topics to maintain visibility and control over your messaging infrastructure. You'll begin by understanding how to log Amazon SNS API calls using AWS CloudTrail. This logging enables you to track the actions performed on your Amazon SNS topics, such as topic creation, subscription management, and message publishing. By analyzing CloudTrail logs, you can identify who made specific API requests and when those requests were made, helping you audit and troubleshoot your Amazon SNS usage.
Next, you'll explore how to monitor Amazon SNS topics using Amazon CloudWatch. CloudWatch provides metrics that allow you to observe the performance and health of your Amazon SNS topics in real time. You'll learn how to set up alarms based on these metrics, enabling you to respond promptly to any anomalies, such as delivery failures or high message latency. This monitoring capability ensures that you can maintain the reliability of your SNS-based messaging system by proactively addressing potential issues.
