Amazon ElastiCache monitoring

Dynatrace ingests metrics for multiple preselected namespaces, including Amazon ElastiCache. You can view metrics for each service instance, split metrics into multiple dimensions, and create custom charts that you can pin to your dashboards.

Prerequisites

To enable monitoring for this service, you need

  • ActiveGate version 1.181+, as follows:
    • For Dynatrace SaaS deployments, you need an Environment ActiveGate or a Multi-environment ActiveGate.
    • For Dynatrace Managed deployments, you can use any kind of ActiveGate.
      Note: For role-based access (whether in a SaaS or Managed deployment), you need an Environment ActiveGate installed on an Amazon EC2 host.
  • Dynatrace version 1.182+
  • An updated AWS monitoring policy to include the additional AWS services.
    To update the AWS IAM policy, use the JSON below, containing the monitoring policy (permissions) for all supporting services.

Enable monitoring

To enable monitoring for this service, you first need to integrate Dynatrace with Amazon Web Services:

  • Set up Dynatrace SaaS integration
  • Set up Dynatrace Managed integration

Add the service to monitoring

In order to view the service metrics, you must add the service to monitoring in your Dynatrace environment.

To add a service to monitoring
  1. In the Dynatrace menu, go to Settings > Cloud and virtualization and select AWS.
  2. On the AWS overview page, scroll down and select the desired AWS instance. Select the Edit button.
  3. Scroll down and select Add service. Choose the service name from the drop-down and select Add service.
  4. Select Save changes.

Note: Once AWS cloud services are added to monitoring, you might have to wait 15-20 minutes before the metric values are displayed.

Cloud-service monitoring consumption

All cloud services consume Davis data units (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).

Monitor resources based on tags

You can choose to monitor resources based on existing AWS tags, as Dynatrace automatically imports them from service instances. Nevertheless, the transition from AWS to Dynatrace tagging isn't supported for all AWS services. Expand the table below to see which cloud services are filtered by tagging.

To monitor resources based on tags

  1. In the Dynatrace menu, go to Settings > Cloud and virtualization > AWS and select Edit for the desired AWS instance.
  2. For Resources to be monitored, select Monitor resources selected by tags.
  3. Enter the Key and Value.
  4. Select Save.

Configure service metrics

Once you add a service, Dynatrace starts automatically collecting a suite of metrics for this particular service. These are recommended metrics. Apart from the recommended metrics, most services have the possibility of enabling optional metrics. You can remove or edit any of the existing metrics or any of their dimensions, where there are multiple dimensions available. Metrics consisting of only one dimension can't be edited. They can only be removed or added.

Service-wide metrics are metrics for the whole service across all regions. Typically, these metrics include dimensions containing Region in their name. If selected, these metrics are displayed on a separate chart when viewing your AWS deployment in Dynatrace. Keep in mind that available dimensions differ among services.

To change a metric's statistics, you have to recreate that metric by choosing different statistics. You can choose among the following statistics: Sum, Minimum, Maximum, Average, and Sample count. The Average + Minimum + Maximum statistics enable you to collect all three statistics as one metric instead of one statistic for three metrics separately. This can reduce your expenses for retrieving metrics from your AWS deployment.

To be able to save a newly added metric, you need to select at least one statistic and one dimension.

How to add and configure metrics
  1. In the Dynatrace menu, go to Settings > Cloud and virtualization and select AWS.
  2. On the AWS overview page, scroll down and select the desired AWS instance. Select the Edit button.
  3. Scroll down to the Services section and select Manage services.
  4. To add a metric, select the service for which you want to add metrics.
  5. Select Add new metric.
  6. From the menu, select the metric you want.
  7. Select Add metric to add the metric to monitoring.
  8. To configure a metric, select the Edit button associated to it.
  9. Select Apply to save your configuration.

Note: Once AWS cloud services are configured, you might have to wait 15-20 minutes before the metric values are displayed.

View service metrics

You can view the service metrics in your Dynatrace environment either on the custom device overview page or on your Dashboards page.

View metrics on the custom device overview page

To access the custom device overview page

  1. In the Dynatrace menu, go to Technologies and processes.
  2. Filter by service name and select the relevant custom device group.
  3. Once you select the custom device group, you're on the custom device group overview page.
  4. The custom device group overview page lists all instances (custom devices) belonging to the group. Select an instance to view the custom device overview page.

View metrics on your dashboard

You can also view metrics in the Dynatrace web UI on dashboards. There is no preset dashboard available for this service, but you can create your own dashboard.

To check the availability of preset dashboards for each AWS service, see the list below.

ReplicationBytesFor nodes in a replicated configuration, ReplicationBytes reports the number of bytes that the primary is sending to all of its replicas. This metric is representative of the write load on the replication group. This is derived from the master_repl_offset statistic.BytesMultiCacheClusterId; CacheClusterId, CacheNodeId
ReplicationLagThis metric is only applicable for a node running as a read replica. It represents how far behind, in seconds, the replica is in applying changes from the primary node.SecondsMultiCacheClusterId; CacheClusterId, CacheNodeId
SaveInProgressThis binary metric returns 1 whenever a background save (forked or forkless) is in progress, and 0 otherwise.CountMultiCacheClusterId; CacheClusterId, CacheNodeId
SetBasedCmdsThe total number of commands that are set-based. This is derived from the Redis commandstats statistic by summing all of the commands that act upon one or more sets (scard, sdiff, sadd, sunion, and so on).CountSumCacheClusterId; CacheClusterId, CacheNodeId
SetTypeCmdsThe total number of write types of commands. This is derived from the Redis commandstats statistic by summing all of the mutative types of commands that operate on data (set, hset, sadd, lpop, and so on).CountSumCacheClusterId; CacheClusterId, CacheNodeId
SlabsMovedThe total number of slab pages that have been movedCountSumCacheClusterId; CacheClusterId, CacheNodeId
SortedSetBasedCmdsThe total number of commands that are sorted set-based. This is derived from the Redis commandstats statistic by summing all of the commands that act upon one or more sorted sets (zcount, zrange, zrank, zadd, and so on).CountSumCacheClusterId; CacheClusterId, CacheNodeId
StringBasedCmdsThe total number of commands that are string-based. This is derived from the Redis commandstats statistic by summing all of the commands that act upon one or more strings (strlen, setex, setrange, and so on).CountSumCacheClusterId; CacheClusterId, CacheNodeId

UnusedMemoryThe amount of memory not used by data. This is derived from the Memcached statistics limit_maxbytes and bytes by subtracting bytes from limit_maxbytes.BytesSumCacheClusterId; CacheClusterId, CacheNodeId
