Verify data collection
After you have created your CloudWatch metric scrape job, you can check that data is successfully getting sent from your Amazon account to Grafana Cloud.
To verify data is getting sent to Grafana Cloud:
In Grafana Cloud, select Observability > Cloud provider > AWS in the main menu.
Click the Services tab.
Find your scrape job listed in the Job name column.
If data is getting sent to Grafana Cloud, the Service’s status is “Sending data”.
Hover your mouse over the status to see the date data was last sent from your specific scrape job.
In your next milestone, you’ll explore the AWS service data collected through your scrape jobs using Grafana built-in dashboards and query tools.
