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.
cloudwatch( config = list(), credentials = list(), endpoint = NULL, region = NULL )
config: Optional configuration of credentials, endpoint, and/or region.
credentials :
creds :
profile : The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
anonymous : Set anonymous credentials.
endpoint : The complete URL to use for the constructed client.
region : The AWS Region used in instantiating the client.
close_connection : Immediately close all HTTP connections.
timeout : The time in seconds till a timeout exception is thrown when attempting to make a connection. The default is 60 seconds.
s3_force_path_style : Set this to true to force the request to use path-style addressing, i.e. http://s3.amazonaws.com/BUCKET/KEY.
sts_regional_endpoint : Set sts regional endpoint resolver to regional or legacy https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-sts-regionalized-endpoints.html
credentials: Optional credentials shorthand for the config parameter
creds :
profile : The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
anonymous : Set anonymous credentials.
endpoint: Optional shorthand for complete URL to use for the constructed client.
region: Optional shorthand for AWS Region used in instantiating the client.
A client for the service. You can call the service's operations using syntax like svc$operation(...), where svc is the name you've assigned to the client. The available operations are listed in the Operations section.
