AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 351

A user has enabled detailed CloudWatch monitoring with the AWS Simple Notification Service. Which of the below mentioned statements helps the user understand detailed monitoring better?

Answer options

• A. SNS cannot provide data every minute
• B. SNS will send data every minute after configuration
• C. There is no need to enable since SNS provides data every minute
• D. AWS CloudWatch does not support monitoring for SNS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS CloudWatch automatically provides metric data for AWS Simple Notification Service (SNS) at one-minute intervals without any additional charge or configuration. Because this basic monitoring level is already set to one-minute granularity, there is no separate 'detailed monitoring' feature to enable for SNS. Therefore, other options suggesting SNS cannot provide one-minute data or require manual setup for it are incorrect.
