CloudWatch provides basic and detailed monitoring of AWS services.
Basic monitoring is when a service sends data points every five minutes to CloudWatch.
CloudWatch receives data points from every service that is subject to detailed monitoring.
AWS Services with Monitoring support supports both basic monitoring and detailed monitoring.
Auto ScalingBy default basic monitoring is enabled when a launch configuration is created via the AWS Management Console. However, detailed monitoring is available when the launch configuration has been created using an API or the AWS CLI.
When created from Console, Auto Scaling sends data every 5 minutes to CloudWatch.
You can add detailed monitoring to Auto Scaling for an additional fee. This sends data to CloudWatch every second.

Questions are collected via the Internet. The answers are marked according to my knowledge and understanding (which may differ from yours).
AWS services are constantly updated and the answers and questions may be out of date soon. So make sure to research accordingly.
AWS exam questions cannot be updated to keep up with AWS updates. This means that even if the underlying feature has been changed, the question may not be updated.
