You can monitor your own data using custom metrics, CloudWatch logs, or both. You may want to use custom metrics if your data is not already produced in log format, for example OS process or performance measurements. Or, you may want to write your own application or script, or one provided by an AWS partner. If you want to store and save individual measurements along with additional detail, you may want to use CloudWatch Logs.
