Learners will gain the ability to send on-premises firewall, router, and switch syslog directly into Amazon CloudWatch using managed syslog ingestion -- eliminating the need to build and maintain a separate EC2-based collection tier. They will learn how CloudWatch parses common syslog formats, how to query extracted fields, and how to create log-based alarms on critical events. Finally, they will discover how to route those alarms to the AWS DevOps Agent so it can automatically investigate issues using the device logs, providing end-to-end on-premises visibility without extra infrastructure.
