Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink was previously known as Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for Apache Flink.
This section describes tools for monitoring an application's performance.
Monitor performance using CloudWatch metrics
You monitor your application's resource usage, throughput, checkpointing, and downtime using CloudWatch metrics. For information about using CloudWatch metrics with your Managed Service for Apache Flink application, see .
Monitor performance using CloudWatch logs and alarms
You monitor error conditions that could potentially cause performance issues using CloudWatch Logs.
Error conditions appear in log entries as Apache Flink job status changes from the RUNNING status to the
FAILED status.
You use CloudWatch alarms to create notifications for performance issues, such as resource use or checkpoint metrics above a safe threshold, or unexpected application status changes.
For information about creating CloudWatch alarms for a Managed Service for Apache Flink application, see .
