Monitoring AWS Interconnect API calls using AWS CloudWatch
Learn how AWS CloudWatch can be used to monitoring AWS Interconnect resources.
== Monitoring AWS Interconnect with Amazon CloudWatch
You can monitor AWS Interconnect using CloudWatch, which collects raw data and processes it into readable, near real-time metrics. These statistics are kept for 15 months, so that you can access historical information and gain a better perspective on how your web application or service is performing. You can also set alarms that watch for certain thresholds, and send notifications or take actions when those thresholds are met. For more information, see the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
For AWS Interconnect, once you have established workloads that are generating consistent levels of traffic, you may want to watch and monitor the ConnectionBpsEgress and ConnectionBpsIngress metrics to confirm expected levels of utilization.
The following tables list the metrics and dimensions for AWS Interconnect.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
|
ConnectionBpsEgress |
The bitrate for outbound data from the AWS side of the connection. The number reported is the aggregate (average) over the specified time period (5 minutes by default, 1 minute minimum). You can change the default aggregate. This metric might be unavailable for a new connection, or when a device reboots. The metric starts when the connection is used to send or receive traffic. Units: Bits per second |
|
ConnectionBpsIngress |
The bitrate for inbound data to the AWS side of the connection. This metric might be unavailable for a new connection, or when a device reboots. The metric starts when the connection is used to send or receive traffic. Units: Bits per second |
|
ConnectionPpsEgress |
The packet rate for outbound data from the AWS side of the connection. The number reported is the aggregate (average) over the specified time period (5 minutes by default, 1 minute minimum). You can change the default aggregate. This metric might be unavailable for a new connection, or when a device reboots. The metric starts when the connection is used to send or receive traffic. Units: Packets per second |
|
ConnectionPpsIngress |
The packet rate for inbound data to the AWS side of the connection. The number reported is the aggregate (average) over the specified time period (5 minutes by default, 1 minute minimum). You can change the default aggregate. This metric might be unavailable for a new connection, or when a device reboots. The metric starts when the connection is used to send or receive traffic.
