To view a graph or chart showing how many emails of each 'Type' were opened each day for the last 30 days using Amazon SES and CloudWatch, you can follow these steps:
-
Open the CloudWatch console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/
-
In the navigation pane, select "Metrics"
-
In the "All metrics" tab, choose "SES"
-
Look for the custom metric "Type" that you created. Select it.
-
Choose the specific "Type" values you want to graph (e.g., if you have different types like "newsletter", "promotion", etc.)
-
In the graph view, you can customize the time range to show the last 30 days
-
To show daily data points, you may need to adjust the period to "1 day" in the graph options
-
To specifically show opens, make sure you're selecting the "Open" event type in your metrics
If you're not seeing the data as expected, double-check that:
- Your Configuration Set is correctly set up with CloudWatch as the destination
- The custom metrics (User and Type) are properly configured
- The Configuration Set name and metric values are correctly added to your email headers
- You've been sending emails with these settings for the time period you're trying to view
If you need more detailed or customized views, you can use CloudWatch's advanced features like metric math or create custom dashboards. You can also export the data for further analysis if needed.
Remember that Amazon SES recently extended the duration for accessing engagement metrics in the Virtual Deliverability Manager dashboard to 60 days, which might provide an alternative or complementary way to view your email performance data.
