Default AWS metrics

The table below lists all AWS metrics that Dynatrace collects by default when you enable AWS monitoring.

Note: Almost all of these metrics consume DDUs, as indicated in the Consumption column.

For all other metrics collected by Dynatrace per configurable AWS service, see the cloud services pages.
