Metric policies in AWS Elemental MediaStore
For each container, you can add a metric policy to allow AWS Elemental MediaStore to send metrics to Amazon CloudWatch. It takes up to 20 minutes for the new policy to take effect. For a description of each MediaStore metric, see MediaStore metrics.
A metric policy contains the following:
-
A setting to enable or disable metrics at the container level.
-
Anywhere from zero to five rules that enable metrics at the object level. If the policy contains rules, each rule must include both of the following:
-
An object group that defines which objects to include in the group. The definition can be a path or a file name, but it can't have more than 900 characters. Valid characters are: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _ (underscore), = (equal), : (colon), . (period), - (hyphen), ~ (tilde), / (forward slash), and * (asterisk). Wildcards (*) are acceptable.
-
An object group name that allows you to refer to the object group. The name can't have more than 30 characters. Valid characters are: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and _ (underscore).
-
If an object matches multiple rules, CloudWatch displays a data point for each matching rule. For example, if an object matches two rules named
rule1 and rule2, CloudWatch displays two data points for these rules. The first has a dimension of
ObjectGroupName=rule1 and the second has a dimension of ObjectGroupName=rule2.
