Try the CloudWatch Stream for a better and easier experience.

With this integration, you can collect Cloudwatch metrics and forward them to Logz.io using the OpenTelemetry collector. We simplify the data export and collection of your metrics. You tell us the desired namespaces and regions that you want to send your data from and we fetch the most relevant metrics to display in the Logz.io pre-built infrastructure monitoring dashboards.

Important notes

  • Extra calls and charges on AWS API requests may be generated by this project.

  • You can track the number of AWS API requests with the cloudwatch_requests_total metric, which provides labels with the API name and namespace specification. For example, cloudwatch_requests_total{action="getMetricStatistics",namespace="AWS/EC2",} 876.0.

  • For more information about the prom/cloudwatch-exporter cost, refer to the relevant Prometheus documentation and to the AWS cloudwatch API pricing page.
