Enhanced metrics for AWS with Cloud Provider Observability
Enhanced metrics for AWS with Cloud Provider Observability
Cloud Provider Observability now supports enhanced metrics, enabling you to monitor important service insights that aren’t available directly in CloudWatch. New derived metrics for such services as AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS, and ElastiCache provide deeper visibility into resource capacity, usage, and limits—helping you build more informative dashboards and alerts.
Under the hood, Yet Another CloudWatch Exporter (YACE), an OSS project Grafana Labs contributes to, now includes a new modular system that makes it easier to add additional enhanced metrics in the future. Instead of hard-coding each metric, the exporter uses service-specific components that gather additional data from AWS APIs and convert it into Prometheus metrics. This design allows new enhanced metrics to be added quickly and safely without affecting existing functionality.
