Viewing replication metrics in S3 Storage Lens dashboards

In addition to S3 Replication metrics, you can use the replication-related Data Protection metrics provided by S3 Storage Lens. S3 Storage Lens is a cloud-storage analytics feature that you can use to gain organization-wide visibility into object-storage usage and activity. For more information, see Using S3 Storage Lens to protect your data.

S3 Storage Lens has two tiers of metrics: free metrics, and advanced metrics and recommendations, which you can upgrade to for an additional charge. With advanced metrics and recommendations, you can access additional metrics and features for gaining insight into your storage. For information about S3 Storage Lens pricing, see Amazon S3 pricing.

If you use the free metrics in S3 Storage Lens, you can see metrics such as the total number of bytes that are replicated from the source bucket or the count of replicated objects from the source bucket.

To audit your overall replication stance, you can enable advanced metrics in S3 Storage Lens. With advanced metrics in S3 Storage Lens, you can see how many replication rules you have of various types, including the count of replication rules with a replication destination that's not valid.

For a complete list of S3 Storage Lens metrics, including which replication metrics are in each tier, see the S3 Storage Lens metrics glossary.
