AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 336

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Amazon SNS automatically collects and sends its metric data to CloudWatch at one-minute intervals by default and at no extra charge. Because of this built-in behavior, there is no separate 'detailed monitoring' feature that users need to manually enable for SNS. Other options are incorrect because SNS fully supports CloudWatch integration and natively provides one-minute granularity without extra configuration.
