Amazon API usage metrics
Most APIs that support Amazon CloudTrail logging also report usage metrics to CloudWatch. API usage metrics in CloudWatch allow you to proactively manage API usage by visualizing metrics in the CloudWatch console, creating custom dashboards, detecting changes in activity with CloudWatch Anomaly Detection, and configuring alarms that alert when usage approaches a threshold.
The following table lists the services that report API usage metrics to CloudWatch, and the value
to use for the Service dimension to see the usage metrics from that service.

Some services report usage metrics for additional APIs as well. To see whether an API
reports usage metrics to CloudWatch, use the CloudWatch console to see the metrics reported by that
service in the AWS/Usage namespace.
To see the list of a service's APIs that report usage metrics to CloudWatch
-
Open the CloudWatch console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/cloudwatch/
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Metrics.
-
On the All metrics tab, choose Usage, and then choose By Amazon Resource.
In the search box near the list of metrics, enter the name of the service. The metrics are filtered by the service you entered.
