AWS Elemental MediaConnect metrics to monitor media health
AWS Elemental MediaConnect sends metrics to CloudWatch. You can review specific metrics to evaluate the health of the media transmitted by MediaConnect. The media health metrics listed below only apply to Transport Stream (TS) flows. For details about each metric, see the table in this section.
Media metrics
The following table lists media metrics that AWS Elemental MediaConnect sends to CloudWatch.
Metric | Description |
---|---|
ConsecutiveDrops |
The number of data packets that were dropped in a row during
transmission of data to or from MediaConnect. Units: Count Supported protocols:
Supported statistics:
Valid dimension sets:
|
ConsecutiveNotRecovered |
The number of data packets that were not recovered in a row.
After a data packet is dropped, error correction attempts to
recover that packet. This metric helps to identify extended
periods of data packets that were dropped and not
recovered. Units: Count Supported protocols:
Supported statistics:
Valid dimension sets:
|
Jitter |
The current network jitter, measured in milliseconds. Network
jitter is a measurement of changes in
latency.
An increase in network jitter indicates inconsistency in the
latency and can negatively impact quality. Units: milliseconds (ms) Supported protocols:
Supported statistics:
Valid dimension sets:
|
Latency |
The stream latency of the flow or source. Latency is the time
it takes for data packets to travel from your source to
MediaConnect. Units: milliseconds (ms) Supported protocols:
Supported statistics:
Valid dimension sets:
|
ConnectionAttempts |
The number of reconnection attempts. If the MediaConnect flow or
source loses its connection, it will attempt to reconnect
automatically. Units: Count Supported protocols:
Supported statistics:
Valid dimension sets:
|
SourceUptime |
The number of seconds that the source has been active. If the
source is disconnected or has a connection timeout, this metric
resets to zero. Units: Count Supported protocols:
