CloudWatch Metrics

Key Concepts

  • Namespace: Grouping for metrics (e.g., AWS/EC2, AWS/Lambda, custom)
  • Metric: Time-ordered set of data points (e.g., CPUUtilization)
  • Dimension: Key-value pair that identifies a metric (e.g., InstanceId=i-xxx)
  • Period: Aggregation interval (60s, 300s, etc.)
  • Statistic: Aggregation function (Average, Sum, Min, Max, p99, etc.)
