Pushing Application Logs from Amazon Lightsail to Amazon CloudWatch: A Step-by-Step Guide

2025-03-19T07:29:05+00:00

In my previous article, I mentioned how you can use your application logs hosted on an Amazon Lightsail instance to create a subscription filter in Amazon CloudWatch. But have you ever wondered how to push your application logs from your Lightsail instance to CloudWatch? Unlike in the EC2 instance, which allows you to easily modify the IAM role and attach the CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy, Amazon Lightsail lacks this capability in its default configuration. Pushing application logs to Amazon CloudWatch is invaluable for maintaining a robust monitoring system. It allows you to track application performance, diagnose issues in real-time, and gain deeper insights [...]

How to Automate Storage and Memory Space Monitoring in Amazon EC2 with CloudWatch and Slack

2025-03-19T06:45:45+00:00

Managing resources effectively is crucial when operating in the cloud. One important aspect of managing Amazon EC2 instances is monitoring storage and memory usage. Storage space, primarily driven by Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), and memory (RAM) are two critical resources that need constant monitoring to avoid performance degradation and optimize costs. Fortunately, with Amazon CloudWatch and Slack, you can automate monitoring these resources and get notified when thresholds are crossed. This blog will guide you through setting up automated monitoring for disk utilization (EBS storage) and memory utilization (RAM) in Amazon EC2 using CloudWatch and Slack. Difference Between Storage [...]

Creating a Self-Healing Mechanism for a Lightweight Website

2025-02-26T03:13:15+00:00

Downtime can be a major disruption for any website, but for lightweight websites like personal blogs or any type of static site, a simple restart of the instance might be all that's needed to resolve the issue. In this article, we'll walk through setting up a self-healing mechanism using AWS Lambda and Amazon EventBridge. This will automatically detect if your website is down, restart it, and send a notification to Slack. We'll also explore how Amazon CloudWatch can be used as a trigger for the Lambda function via a subscription filter and discuss some common causes of downtime or 5xx [...]

Understanding and Managing AWS Lambda Recursive Loop Invocations

2024-06-11T01:05:06+00:00

Introduction AWS Lambda is a serverless computing service that allows developers to run code without provisioning or managing servers. It automatically scales applications by running code in response to events and only charges for the compute time used. This makes AWS Lambda an ideal choice for building scalable and cost-effective applications. However, one challenge that developers might encounter is recursive loop invocations. This occurs when a Lambda function inadvertently triggers itself, leading to a potentially endless loop of invocations. This can result in high costs and system instability if not properly managed. In this blog post, we will explore the [...]

Bookmarks Overview Concepts Features Additional Information Use Cases Best Practices Pricing References Amazon EventBridge Cheat Sheet Amazon EventBridge is a service that allows applications to communicate with each other using data from different sources in real time. It is a serverless event bus that acts as a centralized hub for ingesting events from various sources and directing them to the appropriate applications and services. This makes connecting applications easier and enables them to respond to data in real time. Concepts Events: An event in Amazon EventBridge represents a state [...]

Real-time Monitoring of 5XX Errors using AWS Lambda, CloudWatch Logs and Slack

2023-04-28T01:34:19+00:00

Monitoring is the best friend of every system administrator. It gives visibility into what is happening on your application so that when an issue occurs, you or someone in your team could be alerted and do the necessary measures to mitigate it. However, this can only be as effective as the metrics you're keeping track of.  There are plenty of factors that can affect application performance. And while it’s difficult to stay on top of them all, there are certain metrics that are non-negotiable. Examples of these are CPU utilization, memory usage, disk space, disk usage, network throughput, and so [...]
