Spot Fleet metrics
The AWS/EC2Spot namespace includes the following metrics, plus the
CloudWatch metrics for the Spot Instances in your fleet. For more information, see Instance metrics.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
AvailableInstancePoolsCount |
The Spot capacity pools specified in the Spot Fleet request. Units: Count |
BidsSubmittedForCapacity |
The capacity for which Amazon EC2 has submitted Spot Fleet requests. Units: Count |
EligibleInstancePoolCount |
The Spot capacity pools specified in the Spot Fleet request where Amazon EC2 can fulfill requests. Amazon EC2 does not fulfill requests in pools where the maximum price you're willing to pay for Spot Instances is less than the Spot price or the Spot price is greater than the price for On-Demand Instances. Units: Count |
FulfilledCapacity |
The capacity that Amazon EC2 has fulfilled. Units: Count |
MaxPercentCapacityAllocation |
The maximum value of Units: Percent |
PendingCapacity |
The difference between Units: Count |
PercentCapacityAllocation |
The capacity allocated for the Spot capacity pool for the specified dimensions. To get
the maximum value recorded across all Spot capacity pools, use
Units: Percent |
TargetCapacity |
The target capacity of the Spot Fleet request. Units: Count |
TerminatingCapacity |
The capacity that is being terminated because the provisioned capacity is greater than the target capacity. Units: Count |
If the unit of measure for a metric is Count, the most useful
statistic is Average.
Spot Fleet dimensions
To filter the data for your Spot Fleet, use the following dimensions.
| Dimensions | Description |
|---|---|
AvailabilityZone |
Filter the data by Availability Zone. |
FleetRequestId |
Filter the data by Spot Fleet request. |
InstanceType |
Filter the data by instance type. |
View the CloudWatch metrics for your Spot Fleet
You can view the CloudWatch metrics for your Spot Fleet using the Amazon CloudWatch console. These metrics are displayed as monitoring graphs. These graphs show data points if the Spot Fleet is active.
Metrics are grouped first by namespace, and then by the various combinations of dimensions within each namespace. For example, you can view all Spot Fleet metrics or Spot Fleet metrics groups by Spot Fleet request ID, instance type, or Availability Zone.
To view Spot Fleet metrics
-
Open the CloudWatch console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/cloudwatch/
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Metrics.
-
Choose the EC2 Spot namespace.
Note
If the EC2 Spot namespace is not displayed, there are two reasons for this. Either you've not yet used Spot Fleet—only the Amazon services that you're using send metrics to Amazon CloudWatch. Or, if you’ve not used Spot Fleet for the past two weeks, the namespace does not appear.
-
(Optional) To filter the metrics by dimension, select one of the following:
-
Fleet Request Metrics – Group by Spot Fleet request
-
By Availability Zone – Group by Spot Fleet request and Availability Zone
-
By Instance Type – Group by Spot Fleet request and instance type
-
By Availability Zone/Instance Type – Group by Spot Fleet request, Availability Zone, and instance type
-
-
To view the data for a metric, select the check box next to the metric.
