Monitoring: Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM)

Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager is a free and easy-to-use service that helps you to automate the creation, retention, and deletion of EBS snapshots and AMIs. You can use it to protect valuable data by setting up regular backups or to create standardized AMIs that can be refreshed at regular intervals.

Why should you monitor Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM)?

It is crucial to monitor DLM policies to get notified in case creating or deleting EBS snapshots fails. Monitoring DLM avoids a broken backup system leading to data loss, for example.
