Get the most out of AWS cloud computing with PRTG AWS performance monitoring
Ensure your infrastructure runs smoothly
Paessler PRTG is essential for AWS cloud computing observability since cloud access is contingent on the perfect functioning of your internet connection and corresponding network devices, such as routers and switches.
Sit back, relax, and let PRTG monitor your entire IT infrastructure for you. Amazon cloud monitoring with PRTG provides you with an overview of the utilization of your resources, application performance, and the soundness of company processes.
Save time with easier troubleshooting
PRTG helps to reduce risks in the cloud and configure your local network to best adapt to the cloud integration. Time spent troubleshooting is therefore kept to a minimum. PRTG lets you intervene quickly, allowing you to bypass many problems entirely for better end-user experience.
It shows you, for example, if your IT infrastructure is about to overload due to the large amount of data flowing across your lines and network devices while using the cloud. You can then take necessary steps to upgrade your system.
Expand Amazon CloudWatch possibilities with PRTG
PRTG uses Amazon CloudWatch data to monitor Amazon Web Services and help you get to the root of the problem if crashes occur. Does the error lie with the Amazon server or cloud service, or with a local router? To find out, you'll need monitoring data from both the cloud and the local network.
PRTG comes with a variety of built-in AWS sensors for a number of services which allow for Amazon CloudWatch data to be effortlessly integrated into your monitoring solution. With PRTG, you can monitor cloud data centrally along with the data from your local IT infrastructure to get the most out of AWS cloud computing.

How PRTG works with Amazon CloudWatch
Monitor and analyze all Amazon instances
PRTG works with Amazon CloudWatch to monitor the instances of: Amazon EC2, RDS databases, Amazon EBS data carriers, ElastiCache, and Elastic Load Balancing. SQS and SNS data is also retrieved, and the configured alarms are monitored.
Create data linkages for easier troubleshooting
PRTG extracts the CloudWatch data via AWS API calls, enabling you to link it to other monitoring data such as the router status. As a result, you'll be able to identify correlations while troubleshooting that might not show up when only using CloudWatch.
Discover our preconfigured sensors for AWS monitoring
AWS Alarm v2
The AWS Alarm v2 sensor monitors the status of an alarm that is configured for a CloudWatch service. It can distinguish between composite and metric alarms and monitor them independently from each other.
AWS EBS v2
The AWS EBS v2 sensor monitors the performance of an Elastic Block Store volume and displays different read and write operation values, such as total time, speed, and count. There are also channels that show the volume state and the burst balance.
AWS EC2 v2
The AWS EC2 v2 sensor monitors the performance of an Elastic Compute Cloud instance in terms of CPU and network load, the read/write speed of hard disks, and EC2 status checks. If activated in your AWS account, it can also show the CPU credit balance and usage.
AWS ELB v2
The AWS ELB v2 sensor monitors the performance of an Elastic Load Balancing load balancer – the sensor supports application balancers and network load balancers. It displays different host count values, target 4xx counts, and more, and there are new channels that show, for example, processed bytes, rule evaluations, and consumed LCUs.
AWS RDS v2
The AWS RDS v2 sensor monitors the performance of the Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) regarding CPU load, CPU credit usage, CPU credit balance, memory usage, incoming and outgoing database/network traffic, and storage information.

Monitor Amazon Web Services: FAQ
What is Amazon CloudWatch?
Amazon CloudWatch is the monitoring service for AWS cloud resources that allows you to collect and analyze data, configurations, and metrics from Amazon cloud platforms. PRTG connects to the Amazon CloudWatch API and uses CloudWatch data to monitor Amazon Web Services.
What is AWS monitoring?
AWS monitoring involves tracking and managing the performance, health, and availability of AWS resources and applications. It uses tools like Amazon CloudWatch and Paessler PRTG to collect and analyze metrics, logs, and events. Monitoring helps identify and resolve issues, optimize performance, and ensure the reliability of services. Alerts can be configured to notify administrators of potential problems. Overall, it ensures that AWS environments run efficiently and effectively.
How does PRTG monitor AWS?
PRTG comes with a variety of built-in AWS sensors which allow for Amazon CloudWatch data to be effortlessly integrated into your monitoring solution. These sensors have been developed for a number of services that are monitored by CloudWatch, for example, AWS EC2, AWS EBS, AWS ELB, and AWS RDS. What’s more: PRTG lets you receive AWS Alarms centrally and also checks the costs that come with using Amazon Web Services.
What AWS services can PRTG monitor?
AWS Alarms
In CloudWatch, you can set custom alarms for a variety of metrics, and receive notifications or define actions to be executed automatically in the event of an alarm, such as auto-scaling during EC2 instances. PRTG lets you integrate these alarms into your central monitoring, and therefore group all the data from your IT infrastructure into one place. Furthermore, thanks to free alerts of PRTG (e.g. push notifications), you’ll always stay in the know.
Amazon EC2
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) provides virtual servers for web-based computing with an elastic configuration. Choose from a variety of instance types, operating systems, and software packages, then create your own custom configuration based on RAM, CPU, instance memory, and boot volume size. A quick adjustment of capacities and you’ll be well prepared for fluctuations and load peaks. Within minutes, you can increase or reduce the capacity of your hosting, and thereby gain total control.
Amazon EBS
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) is a service for Amazon EC2 instances. Volumes for persistent block storage ensure a high level of availability and protection in the event individual components break down. Amazon EBS volumes provide for consistently high performance and short latency. Use them to manage computer processing loads. The advantage of Amazon EBS: You can increase or reduce capacities within minutes.
Amazon ELB
The function of Amazon Elastic Load Balancing (Amazon ELB) is to automatically distribute incoming application traffic across several EC2 instances. The load distribution capacity that is required for this function adjusts seamlessly to the distribution of the application data. As a result, your network load is stabler and your applications are granted more room for error.
Amazon RDS
The Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) helps you tailor the configuration, administration, and scaling of a relational database in Amazon cloud computing. It also allows for the automation of administrative tasks, such as hardware provisioning, database setup, and importing backups and patches.
What is a sensor in PRTG?
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive.
On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
