Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Performance Efficiency > PERF 07. How do you monitor your resources to ensure they are performing? > Monitor and alarm proactively

Use key performance indicators (KPIs), combined with monitoring and alerting systems, to proactively address performance-related issues. Use alarms to trigger automated actions to remediate issues where possible. Escalate the alarm to those able to respond if automated response is not possible. For example, you may have a system that can predict expected key performance indicators (KPI) values and alarm when they breach certain thresholds, or a tool that can automatically halt or roll back deployments if KPIs are outside of expected values.

See Monitor and alarm proactively for more information.
