Core CloudWatch functionality

Use the CloudWatch components explorer to see how the four core parts of CloudWatch, Dashboards, Alarms, Logs, and Metrics, work together to provide monitoring and observability.

Click each component to see what it does, then follow the central flow diagram: how Metrics feed Alarms, how Logs feed Insights, and how Dashboards visualize everything. Notice that capabilities like Application Signals and Network Monitoring are built on top of these core parts.

Question: An alarm should fire when errors spike, and afterwards you want to investigate the cause and watch it all on one screen. Based on how the core components connect, which statement is correct?
