API shows up in Cloudwatch metrics under wrong name

Hello,

CloudWatch metrics for API Gateway are typically organized by Dimensions such as ApiName, Method, Resource, Stage. Ensure that you have selected the right dimension while viewing metrics in CloudWatch Metrics console.

=> Verify that the API ID hasn't changed. Even if you renamed the API, the underlying API ID should remain the same. CloudWatch uses this ID for metric association.

=> Ensure you're looking at the correct time range when viewing the metrics.

=> You can use the AWS CLI to list the metrics for your API directly. This might provide more insight into how the metrics are being stored and associated with your API.

For detailed investigation, we would need to check the resources in your account. If you still have queries regarding this, I would recommend you to reach out to our support team by opening a support case with all the resource details (such as API details and screenshot of the issue), and we will investigate the issue further.
