All AWS cloud services

ActiveGate version 1.245+

With AWS monitoring integration, classic (formerly "built-in") services are monitored out-of-the-box. You can also monitor other AWS services that influence the performance of your AWS-hosted applications.

You can receive Amazon CloudWatch metrics for multiple predefined services. You can view graphs per service instance, with a set of dimensions, and create custom graphs that you can pin to your dashboards. You can reduce your CloudWatch costs and throttling by selecting which additional services to monitor. Additionally, for non-classic services, you can choose which metrics you want to monitor.

AWS cloud services monitored by default

As a result of AWS monitoring integration, some services are monitored out-of-the-box. Such services are marked as classic.

For information about differences between classic services and other services, see Migrate from AWS classic (formerly "built-in") services to cloud services.

Other AWS cloud services

In addition to cloud services monitored by default, you can monitor other AWS services that affect the performance of your AWS-hosted applications.

Cloud services with their respective Dynatrace entity types

Not all cloud services have Dynatrace entities created for them and can have tags imported from the cloud. Expand the table below to see cloud services with their respective Dynatrace entity types and to check if they have tags imported from the cloud provider.

For each non-built-in service, the CUSTOM_DEVICE dimension is generated based on the main dimension

Monitoring consumption

As of 2021, all cloud services consume DDUs. The amount of DDU consumption per service instance depends on the number of monitored metrics and their dimensions (each metric dimension results in the ingestion of 1 data point; 1 data point consumes 0.001 DDUs).
