A user has enabled detailed CloudWatch monitoring with the AWS Simple Notification Service. Which of the
below mentioned statements helps the user understand detailed monitoring better?
A.
SNS will send data every minute after configuration
B.
There is no need to enable since SNS provides data every minute
C.
AWS CloudWatch does not support monitoring for SNS
D.
SNS cannot provide data every minute
Explanation:
CloudWatch is used to monitor AWS as well as the custom services. It provides either basic or detailed
monitoring for the supported AWS products. In basic monitoring, a service sends data points to CloudWatch
every five minutes, while in detailed monitoring a service sends data points to CloudWatch every minute. The
AWS SNS service sends data every 5 minutes. Thus, it supports only the basic monitoring. The user cannot
enable detailed monitoring with SNS.
