/**
*
* Amazon CloudWatch monitors your Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources and the
* applications you run on AWS in real-time. You can use CloudWatch to collect
* and track metrics, which are the variables you want to measure for your
* resources and applications.
*
*
* CloudWatch alarms send notifications or automatically make changes to the
* resources you are monitoring based on rules that you define. For example, you
* can monitor the CPU usage and disk reads and writes of your Amazon Elastic
* Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances and then use this data to determine
* whether you should launch additional instances to handle increased load. You
* can also use this data to stop under-used instances to save money.
*
*
* In addition to monitoring the built-in metrics that come with AWS, you can
* monitor your own custom metrics. With CloudWatch, you gain system-wide
* visibility into resource utilization, application performance, and
* operational health.
