Question

Prajna G · Accepted Answer

CloudWatch metrics include **Basic Metrics** (default metrics provided by AWS services), **Custom Metrics** (user-defined metrics from applications or scripts), and **Detailed Metrics** (providing higher resolution data). Custom metrics can be used for tailored monitoring solutions by tracking application-specific performance indicators, setting alarms, and creating dashboards based on the data collected.
