// Code generated by smithy-go-codegen DO NOT EDIT. // Package cloudwatch provides the API client, operations, and parameter types for // Amazon CloudWatch. // // Amazon CloudWatch monitors your Amazon Web Services (Amazon Web Services) // resources and the applications you run on Amazon Web Services in real time. You // can use CloudWatch to collect and track metrics, which are the variables you // want to measure for your resources and applications. CloudWatch alarms send // notifications or automatically change the resources you are monitoring based on // rules that you define. For example, you can monitor the CPU usage and disk reads // and writes of your Amazon EC2 instances. Then, use this data to determine // whether you should launch additional instances to handle increased load. You can // also use this data to stop under-used instances to save money. In addition to // monitoring the built-in metrics that come with Amazon Web Services, you can // monitor your own custom metrics. With CloudWatch, you gain system-wide // visibility into resource utilization, application performance, and operational // health. package cloudwatch
