Fortunately, Observe doesn’t care about the structure of the data. The first thing you see when ingesting these metrics is that these records are batched as newline delimited JSON objects.
Shaping and exploring CloudWatch Metrics in Observe – Part I Now, let’s explore what I saw when I first set up the integration. Once those services are configured you will begin seeing the metrics appear in your Observe instance. In addition to setting up a Firehose delivery stream, customers will also need to set up a metric stream to feed into their delivery stream. Observe accepts telemetry data from Kinesis Firehose via the Observe Kinesis Collector HTTP endpoint. Ingesting CloudWatch Metrics into ObserveĪWS makes it easy to quickly set up a Firehose delivery stream via the AWS Management Console. We do this by not forcing customers to follow any particular formats or specifications upon ingestion, and by providing mechanisms to ingest from a variety of popular collection methods. As a platform, Observe is designed to empower customers to be able to quickly and easily get value out of their data without being forced to use a proprietary agent or write any custom code.
#CLOUDWATCH EXPORTER CODE#
The ability to integrate this new data source into Observe was a trivial undertaking that required no code changes on our end. This feature will reduce costs from $0.01 to $0.0 metrics, reduce the management overhead of maintaining agents (or Lambdas), as well as reduce latency in terms of when metrics show up in Observe. With CloudWatch Metric Streams you can send AWS metrics directly to Observe by simply pointing Kinesis Firehose at our collector endpoint. If a customer is generating large amounts of metrics over multiple accounts this can quickly become a blocker in terms of exporting metrics to third-party systems. In addition to deploying proprietary agents or collectors, customers would then get hit with an AWS bill of $0. Traditionally, customers would need to deploy a third-party agent or a Lambda function to poll metrics via the GetMetricData API call. The release of this new feature allows AWS customers to export CloudWatch metrics data with less configuration, less management overhead, and reduced costs. On March 31st, 2021 AWS launched a new feature called CloudWatch Metric Streams.
