Enterprises are increasingly moving their applications to the cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the leading cloud provider. In this blog, I will provide some additional details on the expanded support of AWS monitoring.

20 AWS Monitoring Extensions

The AppDynamics platform is highly extensible to monitor various technology solutions that are not discovered natively. Our extensions collect metrics for a specific AWS component and pass them to the AppDynamics controller for tracking, creating health rules and visualizing in dashboards efficiently.

Here is the list of all the AWS monitoring extensions:

1. AWS SQS Monitoring Extension
2. AWS EC2 Monitoring Extension
3. AWS ElastiCache Monitoring Extension
4. AWS DynamoDB Monitoring Extension
5. AWS AutoScaling Monitoring Extension
6. AWS Billing Monitoring Extension
7. AWS EBS Monitoring Extension
8. AWS OpsWorks Monitoring Extension
9. AWS ELB Monitoring Extension
10. AWS RDS Monitoring Extension
11. AWS ElasicMapReduce Monitoring Extension
12. AWS RedShift Monitoring Extension
13. AWS Route53 Monitoring Extension
14. AWS SNS Monitoring Extension
15. AWS StorageGateway Monitoring Extension
16. AWS CloudSearch Monitoring Extension
17. AWS Lambda Monitoring Extension
18. AWS Custom Namespace Monitoring Extension
19. AWS S3 Monitoring Extension
20. AWS API Gateway Monitoring Extension

Customers can leverage all the core functionalities of AppDynamics (e.g. dynamic baselining, health rules, policies, actions, etc.) for all of these AWS metrics while correlating them with the performance of the application using the AWS environment. The AppDynamics platform is highly extensible to monitor various technology solutions that are not discovered natively.

AppDynamics Customers using AWS Monitoring

With AppDynamics, many of our customers have accelerated their application migration to the cloud while others continue to monitor cloud applications as the application complexity explodes with the move towards microservices and dynamic web services. As the workload on the these cloud applications grew, AppDynamics came to rescue by elastically scaling the AWS resources to meet the exponential demand for applications.
