AWS metrics

If you haven’t already, you need to install and configure Metricbeat to populate the Metrics app with data. For more information, see Ingest metrics.

To ingest metrics from AWS CloudWatch using the GetMetricData API, you can install Metricbeat on any machine that can make the API requests and enable the AWS module.

Additional AWS charges for GetMetricData API requests are generated using this module.
