Hi,

I am using Cloud Watch, which gives me the ability to get the status of my application (Health check), and if it is down, it sends me an alarm.

I am the newest with Sumo Logic, I am trying to get the same thing (Health check) of my application over a specific IP/URL/path.

Can you help?

  Hi Abdullah,
  
  Does your application write the results of its healthchecks to a log line?
  
  For example, if these are captured in CloudWatch Logs, you can collect those log lines here: https://help.sumologic.com/docs/send-data/collect-from-other-data-sources/amazon-cloudwatch-logs/
  
  Here are other collection approaches:

  1. If your application runs on EC2 you can add a collector agent - Windows | Linux
  2. If the data we need is contained in a CloudWatch Metric, we can collect those here

  Hello, Graham,

  I already installed the collector at my EC2 instance.

  And, I can get the logs, and other monitoring values into my Sumo Logic

  I have different applications in my infrastructure, like Tomcat, and Karaf applications.

  I am asking to get a health check of my URL, for example, 45.24.241.5:8080, I need to check if this URL is reachable, so that will let get a (200) status, (404), or other.

  I don't need to still use the Cloud Watch!

  Hi Abdullah,

  Have you install Apache app? If not, please install it and take a look. You can find many useful dashboads.
