Make sure you add *clear* attribution to the sources you use, with direct links to the pages that you take content from. See: [How to reference material written by others](https://devops.stackexchange.com/help/referencing). Use blockquotes (`> content`) to mark text as a quote from somewhere else so it's clear that you didn't write that bit. It's great to use other sites to back up what you're saying; just make sure it's clear that the content is referenced from somewhere else.

<p>I am a newbie in the world of DevOps and have been assigned a task to implement web applications for the customers in AWS and that application monitored (security, metrics and logging) using any of the open source tools. I dabbled with Nagios a little and have gone through the AWS course on security and networking before.</p>

<p>Has anyone done a similar kind of project before? Could anyone share their approach so that it will help me prepare a design document?</p>

That's super broad, which kind of application ? Are you entitled to modify its code?  What are the goals of this monitoring?

You can try built-in tools that provide by AWS.

AWS calls them **Management Tools**.
