Amazon CloudWatch metrics via Amazon Data Firehose

You can now store Amazon CloudWatch metrics in AppSignal through Amazon Data Firehose.

Monitor your most critical AWS services directly from your AppSignal dashboards:

• RDS — track database connections, read/write latency and CPU utilization
• S3 — monitor bucket size, request counts and error rates
• EC2 — observe instance CPU, network traffic and disk I/O
• Lambda — keep an eye on invocations, duration and throttles
• SQS — watch queue depth, message age and processing rates
• And more!

When CloudWatch metrics are detected, we automatically create dashboards for your AWS services.

Setup only takes two steps: create a Firehose stream pointed at AppSignal and connect it to a CloudWatch metric stream. See our CloudWatch metrics documentation to get started.
