AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty ANS-C00 – Question335

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 cannot provide data every minute
B. There is no need to enable since SNS provides data every minute
C. SNS will send data every minute after configuration
D. AWS CloudWatch does not support monitoring for SNS

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

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.
