QuestionQ21

Monitoring, Logging, Analysis, Remediation, and Performance Optimization

An environment contains 100 Amazon EC2 Windows instances. The Amazon CloudWatch agent is deployed and running on every EC2 instance with a baseline configuration file that captures log files. A new requirement is to capture the DHCP log files that are present on 50 of the instances.

What is the MOST operationally efficient way to fulfill this new requirement?

Explanation

The CloudWatch agent supports multiple configuration files on Windows Server. A separate configuration that collects DHCP logs can be appended to the existing baseline configuration, so both sets of logs are collected without replacing the baseline. AWS Systems Manager Run Command enables the agent configuration update and restart to be performed remotely across the applicable instances at scale.
