PostgreSQL is a popular open-source, object-relational database. As with any other data storage solution, capturing metrics is crucial for making sure your database is reliable, available, and performing optimally. This will help you dig deeper into database performance problems, do performance tuning, optimize queries and indexes, and make partitioning decisions. But that’s not all. You’ll also be able to set up alerts and plan for failures or upgrades.

Sometimes, the data you want to analyze lives in AWS S3 buckets by default. If that’s the case for the data you need to work with, good on you: You can easily ingest it into an analytics tool that integrates with S3. But what if you have a data source — such as logs generated by applications running in a Kubernetes cluster — that isn’t stored natively in S3? Can you manage and analyze that data in a cost-efficient, scalable way? The answer is yes, you can.

Log monitoring is a practice used by IT administrators to organize, analyze, and understand a network’s performance. All network devices, including applications and hardware, create logs as they perform operations. Logs are like a device’s diary—they record every event and its critical information like user IP address, date and time, request time, and more.

OpenSearch is a community response to the recent relicensing of Elasticsearch as a non-Open Source platform. AWS, Logz.io, and a number of partners have been working for months not only to make this merely compatible with Elasticsearch as a functional replacement, but also seeking to create an independent project roadmap.

Setting up Cloud Monitoring dashboards for your team can be time consuming because every team's needs are different. Picking the right metrics, using the right visualizations to represent these metrics, deciding what metrics can go on the same chart, and determining the right pre-processing steps for metrics requires background and experience that may not yet exist among your development and operations teams.
