Job limits
You might receive the error You reached the resource limit for a single scrape job
. We impose this limit to prevent surprise bills from CloudWatch when large AWS environments are being monitored. This limit is applied per service across all configured regions for a job.
If you have a large AWS environment and the potential CloudWatch bill is acceptable, you can do the following:
- If you have one job that covers multiple regions, you can split the job into a single job for each region.
- Open a support ticket to have the limit increased. When you open the ticket, choose the topic “Cloud Integrations” and the subject “Increase AWS Metrics Resource Limits”.
