You can manage your metrics using the AWS Management Console and Amazon CloudWatch even better.



For those who unfamiliar, Connectikpeople may recall that, Amazon CloudWatch monitors your AWS cloud resources and the applications that you run on AWS. The basic unit of monitoring is a metric. Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, and other AWS services collect metrics and forward them to CloudWatch, where they are stored for two weeks. The metrics can be graphed, and they can also be used to raise alerts and
to drive Auto Scaling decisions.
Henceforth, Amazon Web Service is making the console even better, giving you the ability to search for specific metrics and to browse all available metrics by category.
This means, you can now search through all of your CloudWatch metrics in seconds. Matches are displayed when you press the Enter key.
You can click on a highlighted term to add it to your search. After you locate and select the desired metric(s), you can click on the Update Graph button to display a colorful graph.
If you are viewing metrics with different units, drag a metric from the center legend into the box on the right to get a secondary Y-axis.
Finally, you can now click the Browse Metrics button in the CloudWatch dashboard to view your metrics organized by category. Click on a category to view a set of related metrics, and then click on a highlighted term to narrow down to the desired metric(s).
