AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 270

Question

A SysOps administrator needs to collect the content of log files from a custom application that is deployed across hundreds of Amazon EC2 instances running Ubuntu. The log files need to be stored in Amazon CloudWatch Logs. How should the SysOps administrator collect the application log files with the LOWEST operational overhead?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. The correct answer is D. Option D: Store a CloudWatch agent configuration in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. Install the CloudWatch agent on each EC2 instance by using Systems Manager. Configure each agent to collect the application log files. Amazon EC2 provides resizable virtual servers when you need full control of the operating system. Systems Manager Parameter Store securely stores configuration data and secrets. Amazon CloudWatch collects metrics, logs and alarms to monitor and react to operational health.
