Amazon CloudWatch + Tumblr Integrations

Amazon CloudWatch?

Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring service that allows you to cplect, access, and view detailed metrics to analyze the effectiveness of your AWS resources. You can monitor AWS resources that are running on Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS instances.

Tumblr?

Tumblr is an online blogging platform which was launched in 2007. Users can share text, photos, videos, audio, quotes, GIFs, links, chat messages, document files, and drawings. Users can integrate their blogs with Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Google Buzz, Pintrest, Flickr, Six Apart, Tumblr, Delicious, LiveJournal, Wordpress, Blogger and Windows Live Spaces.

Integration of Amazon CloudWatch and Tumblr

Amazon CloudWatch is an application programming interface (API. that enables you to access cplected data using applications. With Amazon CloudWatch integration service, it becomes easy to cplect metrics from Tumblr. You can cplect metrics about your system resources such as CPU utilization, memory usage, disk I/O usage, network bandwidth usage whenever you want to. It also makes it easier to compare cplected data with previous data so you can identify any changes over time. The cplected data is stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3. You can use Amazon S3 for backup and restore of cplected data. You can access cplected data through Amazon CloudWatch conspe or Amazon CloudWatch API.

There are two main categories of Amazon CloudWatch metrics:

• Application Metrics – Application metrics are used to monitor your application’s performance and health metrics such as CPU utilization. If you notice any sudden increase in CPU utilization during peak load time, then you can increase your available instances or upgrade your current instances to more powerful instances.
• System Metrics – System metrics are used to monitor the efficiency of your system hardware such as total disk space on a hard drive or network throughput. If there is a sudden spike in a certain metric value, then you can increase the number of storage devices or upgrade your current storage devices to more powerful ones.

Benefits of Integration of Amazon CloudWatch and Tumblr

The fplowing are some of the benefits of integrating Amazon CloudWatch and Tumblr:

• It monitors resource usage by applications and increases system performance by identifying anomalies in metrics values. For example, if you see an increased CPU utilization on an instance during peak load time of your application then you can upgrade or increase the number of instances. Or if you see a sudden spike in a network throughput metric value during a specific period of time then you can upgrade your network interface card to a higher-performing one.
• It provides a cost-effective way to manage your environment by increasing efficiency and decreasing costs of managing your infrastructure. It reduces your overall operating costs because it enables you to keep track of your system resources and identify potential causes of problems such as disk space exhaustion or network interface card failure before they affect your applications. It also reduces your workload because it enables you to identify potential causes of problems easily even without assistance from third-party vendors such as AWS support team members. You can take immediate actions such as increasing storage device capacity or upgrading your network card and prevent continuous downtime and loss of productivity and revenue.
