Find cause of events

Question

I regularly see notifications of events that tell me my environment health has transitioned from OK to Degraded or Severe. They generally correct themselves quickly, but I think some of these notifications are from my environment bringing more servers online, or scaling back servers after a spike, but I'd love to be able to tell what the cause of an elastic beanstalk event was. I assume it's generally when a health check fails a few times in a row, but is there a way to tell which health check failed to cause any particular event?

Should I be sending data to Cloudwatch or something when scaling or environmental health events occur?
