aws_cloudwatch

Send metrics to AWS CloudWatch using the PutMetricData endpoint.

Introduced in version 3.36.0.

# Common config fields, showing default values
metrics:
  aws_cloudwatch:
    namespace: Benthos
    path_mapping: ""
    region: eu-west-1

It is STRONGLY recommended that you reduce the metrics that are exposed with a path_mapping like this:

metrics:
  aws_cloudwatch:
    namespace: Foo
    path_mapping: |
      if ![
        "input.received",
        "input.latency",
        "output.sent",
      ].contains(this) { deleted() }

Fields​

namespace​

The namespace used to distinguish metrics from other services.

Type: string
Default: "Benthos"

flush_period​

The period of time between PutMetricData requests.

Type: string
Default: "100ms"

path_mapping​

An optional Bloblang mapping that allows you to rename or prevent certain metrics paths from being exported. When metric paths are created, renamed and dropped a trace log is written, enabling TRACE level logging is therefore a good way to diagnose path mappings. BETA FEATURE: Labels can also be created for the metric path by mapping meta fields.

Type: string
Default: "" 

# Examples


path_mapping: this.replace("input", "source").replace("output", "sink")


path_mapping: |-
  if ![
    "benthos.input.received",
    "benthos.input.latency",
    "benthos.output.sent"
  ].contains(this) { deleted() }


path_mapping: |-
  let matches = this.re_find_all_submatch("resource_processor_([a-zA-Z]+)_(.*)")
