Detail Dashboard of EBS Provisioned IOPS volumes

Question

have many disks of the type io1 and io2 and I need to do several separate analyses throughout my organization to have detailed volume metrics. I am looking for a way to have these metrics in a consolidated view, any idea how to do it? It would be a lot to see the GP2 volumes as well. The purpose is to have control and manage costs in a centralized manner.

AWS Compute Optimizer assists in solving in part the problem, as it helps customers optimize compute resources at scale through a detailed look at IOPS metrics but not as you are looking for.

Right-sizing Amazon EBS volumes is critical because under-utilized volumes means wasted resources, and over-utilized volumes don’t leave enough room for spiky workloads.

Please take a look at this blog post --> https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/visualizing-usage-of-provisioned-iops-volumes-on-amazon-ebs-for-analysis/ it cover a scalable method for capturing Amazon CloudWatch metrics for all Provisioned IOPS volumes. After capturing the metrics, you can use them to create custom visualizations using services like AWS Glue, Amazon Athena, and Amazon QuickSight. They did not cover gp3 volumes but you can work in the lambda function to add this type of volumes.
