AWS metrics from CloudWatch

Overview

AWS Metrics from CloudWatch integration polls all your metrics from the specified AWS account every 10 minutes. This does not include S3 metrics, which are available on CloudWatch daily. Tags and metric definitions are pulled every 5 minutes.

Before you can use this integration, you must create an AWS IAM policy and role with the cloudwatch-metrics-iam-role Terraform module. The module outputs coralogix_metrics_role_arn and external_id, which provide the AwsRoleArn and ExternalId parameters below.

Using CloudFormation

You can create the same policy and role with the Coralogix CloudFormation template instead. For both options, see AWS CloudWatch metrics.

How to use with Terraform

To deploy this integration using Terraform, you can use the coralogix_integration resource provided by the Coralogix Terraform provider. Below is an example configuration:

resource "coralogix_integration" "aws-metrics-collector" {
  integration_key = "aws-metrics-collector"
  version         = "1.0.0"

  parameters = {
    IntegrationName       = "cx-aws-cw-metrics"
    AwsRoleArn            = "arn:aws:iam::012345678901:role/access-cloudwatch-metrics"
    AwsRegions            = [ "eu-west-1" ]
    ApplicationName       = "<ApplicationName>"
    SubsystemName         = "<SubsystemName>"
    MetricNamespaces      = [ "value1", "value2" ]
    Statistics            = [ "Maximum", "Minimum", "SampleCount", "Sum", "Average" ]
    WithAggregations      = false
    EnrichWithTags        = true
    DiscoverNamespaces    = false
    IncludeLinkedAccounts = false
  }
}

Replace the placeholder values with your actual configuration parameters. Refer to the parameter table below for required fields and their descriptions.

Revisions

Resource tags are now attached to metrics in AWS/AutoScaling, AWS/EC2Spot, AWS/Kafka, AWS/KafkaConnect, AWS/PrivateLinkEndpoints and AWS/PrivateLinkServices. DynamoDB and Kinesis sub-resources no longer overwrite their parent's tags, and regional and global WAFV2 web ACLs sharing a name no longer share tags.

Upgrade impact: metrics in these namespaces gain new labels, so existing series end and new ones begin. If ResourceTagsFilter is set, it now applies to these namespaces. No new AWS permissions are required.

Parameters are the same as in 0.11.1.
