How to get CloudWatch Metrics for ECS and RDS into OpenSearch Dashboard and Visualize for performance monitoring

Looking to get the same metrics graphs for CPU utilization, memory, disk etc for ECS and RDS from CloudWatch and display in a similar format on OpenSearch Dashboard for performance monitoring. How can I achieve this?

May also add in Container Insights.

Thanks

You can use Cloudwatch Metrics Streams to send metrics realtime to Opensearch via Kinesis Firehose.

Ref: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch-Metric-Streams.html.

  • Thanks Syd. I understand I can use Kinesis to send my Metrics from Cloudwatch to an S3 bucket, but need clarity on how do I then get those metrics from S3 into an OpenSearch Dashboard. I know the blogs mention using Lambda, but interested in what I need to do in Opensearch i.e. the steps to get these metrics imported and then visualized.
