Using AWS CloudWatch to monitor your Lambda functions is a valuable method to obtain useful reporting and alerts. However, relying solely on AWS CloudWatch to monitor your data can leave you without in-depth insights and contextual information.

LogicMonitor integrates with your AWS services to provide detailed analysis of the performance of your Lambda functions. By utilizing a customizable template to configure and deploy Lambda functions that forward log data, LogicMonitor ingests the logs and then uses the data from them to detect anomalies and deliver actionable insights. For more information, see Lambda Function Deployment for AWS Logs Ingestion.
