Monitoring your metric streams with CloudWatch metrics
Metric streams emit CloudWatch metrics about their health and operation in the
AWS/CloudWatch/MetricStreams namespace. The following metrics are
emitted. These metrics are emitted with a MetricStreamName dimension and
with no dimension. You can use the metrics with no dimensions to see aggregated metrics
for all of your metric streams. You can use the metrics with the
MetricStreamName dimension to see the metrics about only that metric
stream.
For all of these metrics, values are emitted only for metric streams that are in the Running state.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
|
|
The number of metric updates sent to the metric stream. If no metric updates are streamed during a time period, this metric is not emitted during that time period. If you stop the metric stream, this metric stops being emitted until the metric stream is started again. Valid Statistic: Units: None |
|
|
This is calculated as MetricUpdate + a number based on additional statistics that are being streamed. For each unique namespace and metric name combination, streaming 1-5 additional
statistics adds 1 to the Valid Statistic: Units: None |
|
|
The number of unrecoverable errors that occur when putting data into the Firehose delivery stream. If no errors occur during a time period, this metric is not emitted during that time period. If you stop the metric stream, this metric stops being emitted until the metric stream is started again. Valid Statistic: Units: None |
