Cloud monitoring tools are utilized for managing, optimizing, and ensuring performance in cloud environments. These tools provide the key metric streams of your applications, resources, and security so that you can identify and react to issues quickly. Below are some commonly used cloud tools:
Amazon CloudWatch: A CloudWatch helps monitor AWS by providing metrics, logs, and alarms. It enables optimization of AWS resources and applications through a complete view of a cloud infrastructure.
Google Cloud Operations: Known for its monitoring, logging, and tracing capabilities, this tool helps you manage application performance on Google Cloud.
Datadog: A pretty exhaustive monitoring platform that works in conjunction with cloud services to provide metrics visualizations, alerts, and more to help manage the performance of cloud infrastructure.
Prometheus: Open-source monitoring system and alerting tool for cloud-native applications. It uses a powerful query language, PromQL, that enables users to track metrics and events.
New Relic: Provides full-stack observability, giving organizations insight into how to best monitor and optimize application performance with everything relating to infrastructure, application, and user data.
AppDynamics: This tool enables business organizations to correlate technical metrics with business outcomes. It offers real-time insights into application performance and user experience.
Each tool has certain distinctive features, but the aim is similar: smooth, efficient, and secure cloud operations through real-time monitoring, alerts, and optimizations.
