This is the Amazon CloudWatch Developer Guide. This guide contains conceptual information about the Amazon CloudWatch web service, as well as information about how to use the service to create new web applications or integrate with existing ones. Separate sections describe not only how to program with the Command Line Interface (CLI) and the Query API, but also how to integrate Amazon CloudWatch with other Amazon Web Services, such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS), and Auto Scaling.

Amazon CloudWatch is a web service that enables you to monitor, manage, and publish various metrics, as well as configure alarm actions based on data from metrics.
