You are the IT administrator for your company. The company has a set of servers sitting on AWS and a set of them sitting on their on-premises locations. They want to monitor the system-level metrics for both sets of servers with a unified dashboard for monitoring. Which of the following can help to achieve this? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

A.Install the cloudwatch agent on both sets of servers.
B.Migrate the on-premise servers to AWS to ensure they can be monitored.
C.Setup the metrics dashboard in Cloudwatch.
D.Setup the metrics dashboard in Cloudtrail.

Answer – A and C
The AWS Documentation mentions the following.
The unified CloudWatch agent enables you to do the following.
· Collect more system-level metrics from Amazon EC2 instances, including in-guest metrics, in addition to the metrics listed in Amazon EC2 Metrics and Dimensions. The additional metrics are listed in Metrics Collected by the CloudWatch Agent.
· Collect system-level metrics from on-premises servers. These can include servers in a hybrid environment as well as servers not managed by AWS.
· Collect logs from Amazon EC2 instances and on-premises servers, running either Linux or Windows Server.
Option B is incorrect since you don’t need to migrate the servers since the Cloudwatch agent can monitor them.
Option D is incorrect since this is not the monitoring service but the API monitoring service.
