  1. Verify that the web server is running
  2. Connect to the console of the Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) instance by using EC2 Instance Connect
  3. Configure the CloudWatch logs agent on the web server
  4. Configure a log filter that will become a custom metric
  5. Use the custom metric to create a CloudWatch alarm
  6. Test the alarm

Note: Once you begin the lab, you will not be able to pause, save, or return to your lab. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the lab before you start.
