AWS Plugin services

Overview Copied

The AWS plugin is a Collection Agent plugin that gathers metrics through AWS CloudWatch. This plugin also provides an API Destination that can interact with AWS services, such as EventBridge and SNS.

Monitored AWS services Copied

The AWS plugin can also get CloudWatch metrics from the following AWS services. See the Required AWS plugin permissions for each service.

Possible causes include a mismatch of ciphers or protocols or the client failing to verify the server certificate and closing the connection.

This metric does not apply if the target is a Lambda function.

conditional_check_failed_requests gauge   table_name, namespace, region average

Number of failed attempts to perform conditional writes. The PutItem, UpdateItem, and DeleteItem operations let you provide a logical condition that must evaluate to true before the operation can proceed.

If this condition evaluates to false, the ConditionalCheckFailedRequests is incremented by one. ConditionalCheckFailedRequests is also incremented by one for PartiQL Update and Delete statements where a logical condition is provided and that condition evaluates to false.

consumed_change_data_capture_units gauge   table_name, namespace, region average Number of consumed change data capture units.
consumed_read_capacity_units gauge   table_name, namespace, region sum

Number of read capacity units consumed over the specified time period, so you can track how much of your provisioned throughput is used.

You can retrieve the total consumed read capacity for a table and all of its global secondary indexes, or for a particular global secondary index.

consumed_write_capacity_units gauge   table_name, namespace, region sum

Number of write capacity units consumed over the specified time period, so you can track how much of your provisioned throughput is used.

You can retrieve the total consumed write capacity for a table and all of its global secondary indexes, or for a particular global secondary index.

failed_to_replicate_record_count gauge   table_name, namespace, region average Number of records that DynamoDB failed to replicate to your Kinesis data stream.
online_index_consumed_write_capacity gauge   table_name, namespace, region average

Number of write capacity units consumed when adding a new global secondary index to a table. If the write capacity of the index is too low, the incoming write activity during the backfill phase might be throttled. This can increase the time it takes to create the index.

You should monitor this statistic while the index is being built to determine whether the write capacity of the index is underprovisioned.

online_index_percentage_progress gauge   table_name, namespace, region average

Percentage of completion when a new global secondary index is being added to a table. DynamoDB must first allocate resources for the new index, and then backfill attributes from the table into the index. For large tables, this process might take a long time.

You should monitor this statistic to view the relative progress as DynamoDB builds the index.

online_index_throttle_events gauge   table_name, namespace, region average Number of write throttle events that occur when adding a new global secondary index to a table. These events indicate that the index creation will take longer to complete, because incoming write activity is exceeding the provisioned write throughput of the index.
pending_replication_count gauge   table_name, namespace, region average Metric is for DynamoDB global tables. The number of item updates that are written to one replica table, but that have not yet been written to another replica in the global table.
provisioned_read_capacity_units gauge   table_name, namespace, region average Number of provisioned read capacity units for a table or a global secondary index.

read_throttle_events gauge   table_name, namespace, region sum Requests to DynamoDB that exceed the provisioned read capacity units for a table or a global secondary index.
replication_latency gauge milliseconds table_name, namespace, region average Metric is for DynamoDB global tables. The elapsed time between an updated item appearing in the DynamoDB stream for one replica table, and that item appearing in another replica in the global table.
returned_bytes gauge bytes table_name, namespace, region average Number of bytes returned by GetRecords operations (Amazon DynamoDB Streams) during the specified time period.
returned_item_count gauge   table_name, namespace, region average Number of items returned by Query, Scan or ExecuteStatement (select) operations during the specified time period.
returned_records_count gauge   table_name, namespace, region average Number of stream records returned by GetRecords operations (Amazon DynamoDB Streams) during the specified time period.
successful_request_latency gauge milliseconds table_name, namespace, region average

Successful requests to DynamoDB or Amazon DynamoDB Streams during the specified time period.

SuccessfulRequestLatency can provide two different kinds of information: the elapsed time for successful requests (Minimum, Maximum, Sum, or Average) or the number of successful requests (SampleCount).

SuccessfulRequestLatency reflects activity only within DynamoDB or Amazon DynamoDB Streams, and does not take into account network latency or client-side activity.

system_errors gauge   table_name, namespace, region sum Requests to DynamoDB or Amazon DynamoDB Streams that generate an HTTP 500 status code during the specified time period. An HTTP 500 usually indicates an internal service error.
time_to_live_deleted_item_count gauge   table_name, namespace, region average Number of items deleted by Time to Live (TTL) during the specified time period. This metric helps you monitor the rate of TTL deletions on the table.
throttled_put_record_count gauge   table_name, namespace, region average Number of records that were throttled by the Kinesis data stream due to insufficient Kinesis Data Streams capacity.
throttled_requests gauge   table_name, namespace, region sum

Requests to DynamoDB that exceed the provisioned throughput limits on a resource (such as a table or an index).

ThrottledRequests is incremented by one if any event within a request exceeds a provisioned throughput limit. For example, if you update an item in a table with global secondary indexes, there are multiple events—a write to the table, and a write to each index. If one or more of these events are throttled, then ThrottledRequests is incremented by one.

transaction_conflict gauge   table_name, namespace, region sum Rejected item-level requests due to transactional conflicts between concurrent requests on the same items.
user_errors gauge   table_name, namespace, region sum Requests to DynamoDB or Amazon DynamoDB Streams that generate an HTTP 400 status code during the specified time period. An HTTP 400 usually indicates a client-side error, such as an invalid combination of parameters, an attempt to update a non-existent table, or an incorrect request signature.
write_throttle_events gauge   table_name, namespace, region sum Requests to DynamoDB that exceed the provisioned write capacity units for a table or a global secondary index.
status attribute   table_name, namespace, region   Current state of the table.
partition_key attribute   table_name, namespace, region   Value of the defined partition key.
