Update AWS IAM policy to give read access to Metric Streams specific metrics. Step 1: On Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring data setup:Ĭreate an integration with Amazon Web Services by following in-line AWS integration instructions. Integrating CloudWatch Metric Streams with Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring is a simple 3 steps process: CloudWatch streams performance metrics to region specific Kinesis Data Firehose, which in turn, streams data to Splunk. The following diagram shows the schematic representation of CloudWatch Metric Streams integration and how the data flows to Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring. How to integrate Metric Streams with Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Native support for OpenTelemetry, a vendor-neutral framework for collecting, transmitting and storing telemetry data.Efficient Scaling - Metric Streams eliminates CloudWatch API throttling limits.

$0.01 for polling GetMetricData for the same number of metric updates. Metric Streams costs $0.003 per 1,000 metric updates vs. Reduced Cost - CloudWatch Metric Streams pricing offers a 70% lower cost over polling GetMetricData.Metric Streams can easily be deployed using a CloudFormation template. Simplified operations - CloudWatch Metric Streams ingestion simplifies architecture removing the need to manage input configuration.End-to-end streaming analytics - from ingest to insights and action to reduce mean-time-to-detect (MTTD) and mean-time-to-resolve (MTTR).Low-latency visibility into the performance of AWS services, and on-premises deployments from one single solution.Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring with the new CloudWatch Metric Streams delivers the following benefits: With CloudWatch Metric Streams, Splunk now expands this capability for other AWS managed services such as Amazon Elastic Load Balancing Service (ELB), Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK), and many others. Instead of polling (which can result in 5 to 10 minutes of latency), metrics are delivered using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to target destinations.

CloudWatch Metric Streams make it easier for customers to gain access to CloudWatch metrics faster and at scale. Powered by patented streaming architecture, Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring already provides high-resolution visibility into AWS infrastructure services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). We are excited to announce our collaboration with AWS in launching Amazon CloudWatch Metric Streams to bring low-latency observability into AWS services for our joint customers. We appreciate your understanding as we work towards making our community more inclusive for everyone.
