A new improved monitoring for Amazon Web Services (AWS) by Geneos
The move towards cloud-based technologies is an ever-increasing focus for many of our customers. We also continue to focus on improving our cloud monitoring capabilities to give our users the single-pane of glass view of the entire technology estate. Following on from the recent updates to Microsoft Azure monitoring, we are excited to introduce new AWS monitoring capabilities to collect metrics, logs and events to dynamically monitor an increasingly complex, hybrid, multi-cloud and distributed environments.

- Combine metrics, logs and events from AWS with on-premises, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments so you get full visibility across all your environments in once place.
