Is there a documentation where I can see consolidated list of all metrics of all services that can be fetched from cloudwatch?

1

Something like what's there for Azure - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/metrics-supported I have searched & closest documents I got were again having links to bunch of other pages! This at best are making referring to these simple details more convoluted & obviously time consuming... Also, referring them offline is a challenge! All I need is list of services, metric names, unit, aggregation methods supported & description of metric in a standard format.

There is no single page on AWS that contains all the possible metrics from every AWS service. The closest thing is probably AWS services that publish CloudWatch metrics which contains a list of all the services that integrate with CloudWatch metrics and a list to their documentation. I noticed that some of those links are actually broken too, which is not a good look.

I'm speculating here, but there is probably no such list because of how AWS is organized internally. The CloudWatch team probably hasn't made available a way for all the other service teams to publish their metrics centrally. Conway's Law sums it up nicely:

"Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure."

Until such a page exists, you'll be stuck reviewing each service's metrics in isolation I'm afraid.

  • Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated! I tried to download PDF from the link that you have shared hoping that it might have some consolidated list. It has that, but spread across so much that it's hardly usable. Keeping this thread alive for some more time, just in case... Thanks!

  • Unfortunately there is no consolidated list because each service team maintains their own lists of CloudWatch metrics. On the link that was posted here, you can go to each of the service's specific metrics pages to build a consolidated list.
