Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Service client metrics

With the Amazon SDK for Java 2.x, you can collect metrics from the service clients in your application and then publish (output) those metrics to Amazon CloudWatch.

These tables list the metrics that you can collect and any HTTP client usage requirement.

For more information about enabling and configuring metrics for the SDK, see Enabling SDK metrics.
