What is CloudWatch?

CloudWatch is a service used to monitor your AWS resources and applications that
you run on AWS in real time. CloudWatch is used to collect and track metrics that
measure your resources and applications.
It displays the metrics automatically about every AWS service that you choose.
You can create the dashboard to display the metrics about your custom application
and also display the metrics of custom collections that you choose.
You can also create an alarm to watch metrics. For example, you can monitor CPU
usage, disk read and disk writes of Amazon EC2 instance to determine whether the
additional EC2 instances are required to handle the load or not. It can also be
used to stop the instance to save money.
Following are the terms associated with CloudWatch:
Dashboards: CloudWatch is used to create dashboards to show what is happening with
your AWS environment.
