The last line of your statement is correct, it is the AWS's service. Optionally you can make your own custom dashboard and send custom metrics to CloudWatch from your applications and on-premises servers.

DynamoDB - Missing metrics

If CloudWatch doesn't list a metric for DynamoDB, then it's probably because DynamoDB doesn't have recent data for that metric. CloudWatch lists only the metrics that were active in the past two weeks. This prevents you from seeing too many older metrics when you call ListMetrics. Please visit the link:

Thnak you to bring the topic to this platform, and again, please do not hesitate to keep writing.

  • Thanks for the answers.

    The missings tables metrics are active. For example one of a metric in the automatic dashboard is CosumedReadCapacity. This metric is visible and has data when I open it in the dashboards missing table.

To understand the complexity of the metric and automatic dashboard – you have to understand what metric is and how it is named and organised. I am not going to discuss those here.

The wording “Automatic dashboard” is a well-defined CloudWatch dashboard which collects automatically compute performance metrics such as CPU, memory, and network from AWS resources for monitoring and alarming. You can say, all AWS resources automatically send their metrics to CloudWatch dashboard. It is quick and easy to get started to drill-down to understand the root cause of performance issues. Optionally you can make your own custom dashboard and send custom metrics to CloudWatch from your applications and on-premises servers.

If you click the “All metrics” under the Metrics of the Cloud Watch console, you will see all the metric services which are currently available. Under each of the individual metric – there is “View automatic dashboard”. If you click on it, you see the key metrics. The key metric is the individual name/metric of the metric category of the metric of a service. For further information, please visit:

Please let me know, if you have any further quries.

  • We know we can create our own dashboard, that's why we ask about an automatic dashboard. To see if it is enough for us. How the key metrics for automatic dashboards are chosen? If I understand it correctly, the automatic dashboards contains always same metrics. I will always see the same automatic dashboards for the particular resource. Somebody from the was team has chosen what will be here?

And one more question. I will create a new topic if necessary. I expect all resources should be visible under the automatic dashboard. How it is possible some dynamoDb tables are missing here?

Hello, I'm trying to answer right below the comment. My last answer was:

"Waizi 7 days ago The link points to RDS, not the DynamoDb table, and someone missing tables data not metrics. What info do you need? I can provide some."

Great! It appears to me at times - we need to practice more, we cannot learn all of things at a time. The AWS cloud platform is very large, and it has hundreds of services, the services are decoupling within the services. It is sure, we will get there. We just need to practice, and practice.

I am sorry, I need more information from you to answer your last query. But you can check the following link:

Sorry for the typing error. The above link may help you how to write a problem with details. As I advised you before that I am also learning like you. Thanks a lot for the voting which will help me how to write the answer correctly.
