# List of MediaConvert CloudWatch metrics
<a name="metrics"></a>

AWS Elemental MediaConvert sends the following metrics to CloudWatch at the end of every job.


| Metric name | Unit | Description | 
| --- | --- | --- | 
| `Errors` | Count | Tracks errors encountered when making a particular API call.Operations include: `CreateJob`, `GetJob`, `ListJobs`, `ListPresets`, `ListQueues`, `ListTagsForResource`, and `Subscribe` | 
| `AudioOutputDuration` | Milliseconds | The number of milliseconds of audio-only output for a queue. | 
| `SDOutputDuration` | Milliseconds | The number of milliseconds of standard definition (SD) output for a queue.<br />For the definition of each video resolution category, see the [AWS Elemental MediaConvert pricing page](http://www.amazonaws.cn/mediaconvert/pricing). | 
| `HDOutputDuration` | Milliseconds | The number of milliseconds of high-definition (HD) output for a queue.<br />For the definition of each video resolution category, see the [AWS Elemental MediaConvert pricing page](http://www.amazonaws.cn/mediaconvert/pricing). | 
| `UHDOutputDuration` | Milliseconds | The number of milliseconds of ultra-high-definition (UHD) output for a queue.<br />For the definition of each video resolution category, see the [AWS Elemental MediaConvert pricing page](http://www.amazonaws.cn/mediaconvert/pricing). | 
| `8KOutputDuration` | Milliseconds | The number of milliseconds of 8K output for a queue.<br />For the definition of each video resolution category, see the [AWS Elemental MediaConvert pricing page](http://www.amazonaws.cn/mediaconvert/pricing). | 
| `JobsCompletedCount` | Count | The number of jobs completed in a queue. | 
| `JobsCanceled` | Count | The number of jobs canceled in a queue. | 
| `JobsErroredCount` | Count | The number of jobs that failed because of invalid inputs, such as a request to transcode a file that is not in the specified input bucket. | 
| `StandbyTime` | Milliseconds | The amount of time a job is in a queue before MediaConvert starts processing it, in milliseconds. | 
| `TranscodingTime` | Milliseconds | The number of milliseconds for MediaConvert to complete transcoding. | 
| `BlackVideoDetected` | Milliseconds | The total duration of black video frames in your output that are also present in your input in milliseconds.<br />`BlackVideoDetected` does not include any black frames inserted by MediaConvert. | 
| `BlackVideoDetectedRatio` | Ratio | The ratio of black video frames to the total duration of your output.<br />Higher ratios show outputs with more black frames. | 
| `LongestBlackSegmentDetected` | Milliseconds | The location in your output with the longest continuous segment of black video frames, in milliseconds. | 
| `VideoPaddingInserted` | Milliseconds | The total duration of blank frames MediaConvert inserted across all outputs in your job, in milliseconds.<br />Video padding inserts blank frames to help keep audio and video durations aligned. Large `VideoPaddingInserted` values show that more blank frames were inserted. They also show to what extent your input audio tracks either start late, end early, or both. | 
| `VideoPaddingInsertedRatio` | Ratio | The ratio of blank frames MediaConvert inserted to the overall duration of your output.<br />Higher ratios may signal audio video sync issues in your input. | 
| `AvgBitrateTop` | Bits per second | The average bitrate of the highest bitrate output in the output group. | 
| `AvgBitrateBottom` | Bits per second | The average bitrate of the lowest bitrate output in the output group. | 
| `QVBRAvgQualityHighBitrate` | Score | The average QVBR quality score of the highest bitrate output in the output group. | 
| `QVBRAvgQualityLowBitrate` | Score | The average QVBR quality score of the lowest bitrate output in the output group. | 
| `QVBRMinQualityHighBitrate` | Score | The minimum QVBR quality score of the highest bitrate output in the output group. | 
| `QVBRMinQualityLowBitrate` | Score | The minimum QVBR quality score of the lowest bitrate output in the output group. |
