Benchmark: BP02 Define and calculate metrics (Aggregation)
Description
Store log data and apply filters where necessary to calculate metrics, such as counts of a specific log event, or latency calculated from log event timestamps.Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon S3 serve as the primary aggregation and storage layers. For some services, such as AWS Auto Scaling and Elastic Load Balancing, default metrics are provided by default for CPU load or average request latency across a cluster or instance. For streaming services, such as VPC Flow Logs and AWS CloudTrail, event data is forwarded to CloudWatch Logs and you need to define and apply metrics filters to extract metrics from the event data. This gives you time series data, which can serve as inputs to CloudWatch alarms that you define to invoke alerts.
Usage
