Amazon CloudWatch monitors your Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources and applications you run on AWS in real time. Use the Coralogix destination to easily forward metrics for your AWS resources to Coralogix using CloudWatch Metric Stream and Firehose Delivery Stream.
This guide demonstrates how to:
There are two ways of sending AWS service metrics to Coralogix:
1. Set up CloudWatch Metric Stream and Firehose Delivery Stream.
2. Identify the AWS services that publish metrics to CloudWatch and their namespaces. Use them in your configuration to collect the metrics.
Note: Namespaces are case-sensitive.
1. Download and import the metric stream version of your RDS dashboard.
2. Download and import the metric stream version of ElastiCache dashboard.
Use PromQL to create metrics alerts:
1avg(amazonaws_com_AWS_RDS_CPUUtilization{DBInstanceIdentifier!=""}) by (DBInstanceIdentifier)
1avg(amazonaws_com_AWS_RDS_CPUUtilization{DBClusterIdentifier!="",Role="WRITER"}) by (Role,DBClusterIdentifier)
1(sum(amazonaws_com_AWS_ElastiCache_CacheMisses_sum{})/(sum(amazonaws_com_AWS_ElastiCache_CacheHits_sum{})+sum(amazonaws_com_AWS_ElastiCache_CacheMisses_sum{})))*100
To validate your configuration, access your Coralogix – Grafana dashboard.
1. On the right-hand corner of your dashboard, click on the Grafana drop-down tab.
2. Once you’ve accessed your Coralogix-Grafana dashboard, click on Explore tab in the left-hand browser.
3. Click on the drop-down arrow of the Metrics browser and input
(RDS metrics) and RDS
(ElastiCache metrics) in the “Select a Metric” column.ElastiCache
CloudWatch Metric Streams does not send metrics that are older than 2 hours. This means that some CloudWatch metrics are calculated at the end of a day and reported with the beginning timestamp of the same day. This includes S3 daily storage metrics and some billing metrics.
Should you need these metrics, we recommend using Cloudwatch Exporter using Prometheus alongside our new CloudWatch integration designed to retrieve those metrics. For updated information, contact Coralogix Support.
