AWS cloud services

As a result of AWS monitoring integration, built-in services are monitored out of the box. These services include DynamoDB, EBS, EC2, EC2 Auto Scaling, RDS, Application Load Balancer and Network Load Balancer, Elastic Load Balancing, Lambda, and S3. Apart from built-in services, you can also monitor other AWS services that influence the performance of your AWS-hosted applications.

You can receive AWS CloudWatch metrics for multiple predefined services. You can view graphs per service instance, with a set of dimensions, and create custom graphs that you can pin to your dashboards. You can reduce your CloudWatch costs and throttling by selecting which additional services to monitor. Additionally, for non-built-in services, you can choose which metrics you want to monitor.

Configuration API

To get a list of all AWS supported services on your cluster by current version via the AWS credentials API, issue the GET /aws/credentials/supportedServices request.

Monitoring consumption

As of 2021, all cloud services consume DDUs. The amount of DDU consumption per service instance depends on the number of monitored metrics and their dimensions (each metric dimension results in the ingestion of 1 data point; 1 data point consumes 0.001 DDUs).
