Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) monitoring
Dynatrace ingests metrics for multiple preselected namespaces, including Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). You can view metrics for each service instance, split metrics into multiple dimensions, and create custom charts that you can pin to your dashboards.
Prerequisites
To enable monitoring for this service, you need
-
ActiveGate version 1.181+, as follows:
-
For Dynatrace SaaS deployments, you need an Environment ActiveGate or a Multi-environment ActiveGate.
-
For Dynatrace Managed deployments, you can use any kind of ActiveGate.
For role-based access (whether in a SaaS or Managed deployment), you need an Environment ActiveGate installed on an Amazon EC2 host.
-
-
Dynatrace version 1.182+
-
An updated AWS monitoring policy to include the additional AWS services.
To update the AWS IAM policy, use the JSON below, containing the monitoring policy (permissions) for all supporting services.

In this example, from the complete list of permissions you need to select
"apigateway:GET"for Amazon API Gateway"cloudwatch:GetMetricData","cloudwatch:GetMetricStatistics","cloudwatch:ListMetrics","sts:GetCallerIdentity","tag:GetResources","tag:GetTagKeys", and"ec2:DescribeAvailabilityZones"for All monitored Amazon services.
- A request metrics filter for the buckets you want to monitor. For more information, see Creating a request metrics filter for an S3 bucket in AWS documentation.
To monitor S3 metrics, you need to select Amazon S3 service, otherwise Amazon S3 (built-in) will provide only a basic count of S3 buckets in your account.
By default, request metrics aren't reported. To have them reported, you need to enable them in the AWS S3 console.
Enable monitoring
To learn how to enable service monitoring, see Enable service monitoring.
View service metrics
You can view the service metrics in your Dynatrace environment either on the custom device overview page or on your Dashboards page.
View metrics on the custom device overview page
To access the custom device overview page
- In the Dynatrace menu, go to Technologies and processes.
Filter by service name and select the relevant custom device group.
- Once you select the custom device group, you're on the custom device group overview page.
- The custom device group overview page lists all instances (custom devices) belonging to the group. Select an instance to view the custom device overview page.
View metrics on your dashboard
You can also view metrics in the Dynatrace web UI on dashboards. There is no preset dashboard available for this service, but you can create your own dashboard.
