How do I reduce "CW:GMD-Metrics" costs?

0

I've noticed a cost labeled as "CW:GMD-Metrics" in my AWS Cost Explorer. I believe this is related to Amazon CloudWatch custom metrics, specifically the ingestion and storage of granular metric data.

I'm looking for advice on how to drill down and find optimization opportunities to reduce these costs.

Here's what I've considered so far:

  • Evaluating the necessity of each custom metric.
  • Adjusting the metric resolution.
  • Optimizing metric storage and retention periods.

I'd appreciate any further suggestions, especially on how to identify the major cost contributors and best practices for optimizing CloudWatch custom metrics usage. If anyone has had experience reducing "CW:GMD-Metrics" costs or has any insights, please share!

Thank you in advance for your help!
