AWS lambda metricset

Stack

AWS Lambda monitors functions and sends metrics to Amazon CloudWatch. These metrics include total invocations, errors, duration, throttles, dead-letter queue errors, and iterator age for stream-based invocations.

Some specific AWS permissions are required for IAM user to collect AWS EBS metrics.

The aws lambda metricset comes with a predefined dashboard. For example:

 - module: aws period: 300s metricsets: - lambda # This module uses the aws cloudwatch metricset, all # the options for this metricset are also available here. 

Please see more details for each metric in lambda-cloudwatch-metric.

This is a default metricset. If the host module is unconfigured, this metricset is enabled by default.

For a description of each field in the metricset, see the exported fields section.
