Editor’s note : Efficiently managing and monitoring AWS applications allows reducing of overall infrastructure cost as well as stability increment of AWS systems . As a leader in providing AWS managed services , Winklix can aid you in providing insights on application of best practises for AWS monitoring .

As far as infrastructure management services are concerned , the attitude of let’s see how it goes does not work at all . In order to stay on the top , the best thing that you can do is employ robust monitoring and use its output to foresee and prevent potential problem . Let’s see below how Winklix can help you with following best practises for AWS monitoring .

1. Use automation where possible

Automated response to alerts plays crucial role when it comes to sustaining AWS environment within complex enterprise IT infrastructure . This facilitates minimisation of human intervention due to presence of prewritten scripts . For instance say , scripts can come into use in order to scale up memory consumption when it has reached its critical level . An experienced DevOps engineer can aid you with creating dynamic AWS monitoring approach .

Automation is AWS monitoring helps companies :

  • To improve overall cloud productivity via dynamic configuration of services , such as increasing storage capacity or memory .
  • Avoid delays in issue resolution process when human response to alert are hindered by access and permission restriction .
  • Focus on remediating most critical issues , by automation of minor task .

Winklix support team take help of tools such as Zabbix and Nagios to implement proactive monitoring for service checks and applying event handler to reconfigure service when it reaches crucial level . For instance say a server is experiencing more than 100 % CPU usage , a script might be used to reboot instance of server .

2. Create Policies To Define Priority Levels

Predefining of policies to facilitate services to generate an event and send alerts allows you to take full benefit of AWS environment . It also facilitates IT management services to avoid pool of notifications and will only focus on priorities . At the same time , priority level defined will also aid you in building of more sophisticated alert processing system .

In order to get the best out of it , Winklix’s team of cloud experts can help you defining criteria indicating threshold of deviation that determines the level of priority . Tools like Zabbix and Nagios allows our developer to create rules and apply changes to policies as and when needed by just doing modifications in their parameters .

3. Resolving Of Problem Before They Become Crucial For User

In our years of experience , we have seen many cases when the engineering team tries to solve problem by doing temporary patch for the system , and thereby postponing implementation of appropriate fix . This practises in real can have serious negative outcome , as minor unresolved issue can create big critical errors . These errors can create multiple layers of unmaintainable technical debt , thereby leaving team to not able to respond quickly , which in turn lead to negative impact on end user experience .

In order to overcome with these issues , Winklix’s team tries to avoid fixation of temporary fixes , and try to implement approaches by providing them timely solution .

Setting Up Efficient AWS Monitoring For Your Business
