Monitoring your instance using CloudWatch

Amazon Connect sends data about your instance to CloudWatch metrics so that you can collect, view, and analyze CloudWatch metrics for your Amazon Connect virtual contact center. You can use this data to monitor key operational metrics and set up alarms. Data about your contact center is sent to CloudWatch every 1 minute.

When you view the CloudWatch metrics dashboard, you can specify the refresh interval for the data displayed. The values displayed in the dashboard reflect the values for the refresh interval you define. For example, if you set the refresh interval to 1 minute, the values displayed are for a minute period. You can select a refresh interval of 10 seconds, but Amazon Connect does not send data more often than every 1 minute. Metrics that are sent to CloudWatch are available for two weeks, and then discarded. To learn more about metrics in CloudWatch, see the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.

Note

If your Amazon Connect instance was created on or before October 2018, you need to provide Amazon Connect with permission to begin publishing chat metrics to your CloudWatch account. To do so, create an IAM policy with the following permission and attach it to the Amazon Connect service role. You can find the Amazon Connect service role on the Account overview page for your Amazon Connect instance.

Amazon Connect metrics sent to CloudWatch

The AWS/Connect namespace includes the following metrics.

Metric	Description
CallsBreachingConcurrencyQuota	The total number of voice calls that exceeded the concurrent calls quota for the instance. For the total number of calls that breach the quota, take a look at the Sum statistic. For example, assume your contact center experiences the following volumes, and your service quota is 100 concurrent calls: 0:00 : 125 concurrent calls. This is 25 over the quota. 0:04 : 135 concurrent calls. This is 35 over the quota. 0:10 : 150 concurrent calls. This is 50 over the quota. CallsBreachingConcurrencyQuota = 110: the total number of voice calls that exceeded the quota between 0:00 and 0:10. Unit: Count Dimension: InstanceId: The ID of your instance MetricGroup: VoiceCalls
CallBackNotDialableNumber	The number of times a queued callback to a customer could not be dialed because the customer's number is in a country for which outbound calls are not allowed for the instance.

Use CloudWatch metrics to calculate concurrent call quota

Important

The ConcurrentCallsPercentage calculation information is not the same as ConcurrentTasksPercentage and ConcurrentChatPercentage.

• The metrics emitted for ConcurrentCallsPercentage are in decimal and not multiplied by 100. The metric represents a percentage of your total quota.

• For ConcurrentTasksPercentage and ConcurrentChatPercentage the value is multiplied by 100. That gives you your total quota.

• The metrics emitted are correct and there is no discrepancy in data.

Here's how to calculate your quota usage for concurrent calls.

With calls active in the system, look at ConcurrentCalls and ConcurrentCallsPercentage. Calculate how much of your quota has been used:

• (ConcurrentCalls / ConcurrentCallsPercentage)

For example, if ConcurrentCalls is 20 and ConcurrentCallsPercentage is 50, your quota usage is calculated as (20/0.5) = 40. Your total quota is 40 calls.

Use CloudWatch metrics to calculate concurrent active chats quota

Here's how to calculate your quota for concurrent active chats.

With chats active in the system, look at ConcurrentActiveChats and ConcurrentChatsPercentage. Calculate the quota:

• (ConcurrentActiveChats / ConcurrentActiveChatsPercentage) * 100

For example, if ConcurrentActiveChats is 1000 and ConcurrentActiveChatsPercentage is 50, your quota is calculated as (1000/50)*100 = 2000. Your total quota is 2000 chats.

Use CloudWatch metrics to calculate concurrent task quota

Here's how to calculate your quota for concurrent tasks.

With tasks active in the system, look at ConcurrentTasks and ConcurrentTasksPercentage. Calculate the quota:

• (ConcurrentTasks / ConcurrentTasksPercentage)*100

For example, if ConcurrentTasks is 20 and ConcurrentTasksPercentage is 50, your total quota is calculated as (20/50)*100= 40. Your total quota is 40 tasks.
