# Observability in Amazon EKS<a name="eks-observe"></a>

You can observe your data in Amazon EKS using many available monitoring or logging tools\. Your Amazon EKS log data can be streamed to AWS services or to partner tools for data analysis\. There are many services available in the AWS Management Console that provide data for troubleshooting your Amazon EKS issues\. You can also use an AWS\-supported open\-source solution for [monitoring Amazon EKS infrastructure](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/grafana/latest/userguide/solution-eks.html)\.

I think this may confuse users if it's the first sentence on the page. I think the first paragraph should focus on what users will learn from the entire page, instead of high level considerations. Can you move this edit into another paragraph?
