Logging and Monitoring in AWS Snowball Edge

Monitoring is an important part of maintaining the reliability, availability, and performance of AWS Snowball Edge and your AWS solutions. You should collect monitoring data so that you can more easily debug a multi-point failure if one occurs. AWS provides several tools for monitoring your AWS Snowball Edge resources and responding to potential incidents:

AWS CloudTrail Logs

CloudTrail provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service in the AWS Snowball Edge Job Management API or when using the AWS Console. Using the information collected by CloudTrail, you can determine the API request that was made to AWS Snowball Edge service, the IP address from which the request was made, who made the request, when it was made, and additional details. For more information, see Logging AWS Snowball Edge API calls with AWS CloudTrail.
