# Monitoring Lambda Managed Instances
<a name="lambda-managed-instances-monitoring"></a>

Lambda provides two types of monitoring data for your capacity providers: metrics and system logs. Together, these give you visibility into resource utilization, instance lifecycle events, and operational issues.
+ **Metrics** – Lambda automatically publishes CloudWatch metrics for your capacity providers to help you monitor resource utilization, track costs, and optimize performance. For more information, see [CloudWatch metrics for Lambda Managed Instances](lambda-managed-instances-monitoring-metrics.md).
+ **System logs** – Lambda automatically sends system logs to CloudWatch Logs that record instance lifecycle events and errors for your capacity provider. For more information, see [Capacity provider system logs for Lambda Managed Instances](lambda-managed-instances-monitoring-system-logs.md).
