AWS Data Lifecycle Manager metrics

Once you’ve integrated with AWS CloudWatch, you have access to metrics from AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, which automates the creation, retention, and deletion of EBS snapshots and EBS-backed AMIs.

See all AWS integrations.

You can validate that metrics are reporting to Cloud Observability on the Metrics details page in Settings.

The following table shows the Data Lifecycle Manager metrics ingested by Cloud Observability.
