List of MediaConvert CloudWatch metrics

AWS Elemental MediaConvert sends the following metrics to CloudWatch at the end of every job.

Metric name	Unit	Description
Errors	Count	Tracks errors encountered when making a particular API call. Operations include: CreateJob, GetJob, ListJobs, ListPresets, ListQueues, ListTagsForResource, and Subscribe
AudioOutputDuration	Milliseconds	The number of milliseconds of audio-only output for a queue.
SDOutputDuration	Milliseconds	The number of milliseconds of standard definition (SD) output for a queue. For the definition of each video resolution category, see the AWS Elemental MediaConvert pricing page.
HDOutputDuration	Milliseconds	The number of milliseconds of high-definition (HD) output for a queue. For the definition of each video resolution category, see the AWS Elemental MediaConvert pricing page.
UHDOutputDuration	Milliseconds	The number of milliseconds of ultra-high-definition (UHD) output for a queue. For the definition of each video resolution category, see the AWS Elemental MediaConvert pricing page.
8KOutputDuration	Milliseconds	The number of milliseconds of 8K output for a queue. For the definition of each video resolution category, see the AWS Elemental MediaConvert pricing page.
JobsCompletedCount	Count	The number of jobs completed in a queue.
JobsCanceled	Count	The number of jobs canceled in a queue.
JobsErroredCount	Count	The number of jobs that failed because of invalid inputs, such as a request to transcode a file that is not in the specified input bucket.
StandbyTime	Milliseconds	The amount of time before MediaConvert starts transcoding a job, in milliseconds.
TranscodingTime	Milliseconds	The number of milliseconds for MediaConvert to complete transcoding.
BlackVideoDetected	Milliseconds	The total duration of black video frames in your output that are also present in your input in milliseconds. BlackVideoDetected does not include any black frames inserted by MediaConvert.
BlackVideoDetectedRatio	Ratio	The ratio of black video frames to the total duration of your output. Higher ratios show outputs with more black frames.
LongestBlackSegmentDetected	Milliseconds	The location in your output with the longest continuous segment of black video frames, in milliseconds.
VideoPaddingInserted	Milliseconds	The total duration of blank frames MediaConvert inserted across all outputs in your job, in milliseconds. Video padding inserts blank frames to help keep audio and video durations aligned. Large VideoPaddingInserted values show that more blank frames were inserted. They also show to what extent your input audio tracks either start late, end early, or both.
VideoPaddingInsertedRatio	Ratio	The ratio of blank frames MediaConvert inserted to the overall duration of your output. Higher ratios may signal audio video sync issues in your input.
AvgBitrateTop	Bits per second	The average bitrate of the highest bitrate output in the output group.
AvgBitrateBottom	Bits per second	The average bitrate of the lowest bitrate output in the output group.
QVBRAvgQualityHighBitrate	Score	The average QVBR quality score of the highest bitrate output in the output group.
QVBRAvgQualityLowBitrate	Score	The average QVBR quality score of the lowest bitrate output in the output group.
QVBRMinQualityHighBitrate	Score	The minimum QVBR quality score of the highest bitrate output in the output group.
QVBRMinQualityLowBitrate	Score	The minimum QVBR quality score of the lowest bitrate output in the output group.
