Question

A software company wants to use instrumentation data to detect and resolve errors to improve application recovery time. The company requires API usage anomalies, like error rate and response time spikes, to be detected in near-real time (NRT). The company also requires that data analysts have access to dashboards for log analysis in NRT. Which solution meets these requirements'?

Why each option

To detect API usage anomalies and provide NRT dashboards for log analysis using instrumentation data, Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics is the appropriate solution. It functions as a data transport layer for logging while also processing the data to uncover anomalies in near-real time.

AUse Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose as the data transport layer for logging data

Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose is primarily a data transport and loading service that buffers and delivers streaming data to destinations; it does not inherently perform real-time analytics or anomaly detection on the data itself.

BUse Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics as the data transport layer for logging data

While Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics is the correct service for processing, simply stating it's a 'data transport layer' is incomplete and doesn't fully capture its analytical capabilities required for anomaly detection and dashboarding.

CUse Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics as the data transport layer for logging data and to uncoverCorrect

Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics can serve as a real-time data processing layer, analyzing incoming logging data to detect anomalies like error rate and response time spikes in near-real time. It can then output processed data to dashboards (e.g., via Amazon OpenSearch Service) for analysts, fulfilling both the anomaly detection and NRT dashboard requirements.

DUse Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose as the data transport layer for logging data

Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose is primarily a data transport and loading service that buffers and delivers streaming data to destinations; it does not inherently perform real-time analytics or anomaly detection on the data itself.
