AWS EventBridge metrics

Once you’ve integrated with AWS Cloudwatch, you have access to metrics from AWS EventBridge, which targets such AWS Lambda functions, HTTP invocation endpoints using API destinations, or event buses in other AWS accounts with a stream of real-time data coming from your apps, SaaS applications, and AWS services.

You can create a pre-built dashboard for this integration when you add the integration to Cloud Observability or from the Dashboard list view.

To verify metrics are reporting, search for the metrics in the Metric details section of the Settings page.

The following table shows the EventBridge metrics ingested by Cloud Observability.

Metric Name	Unit	Description
aws.eventbridge.dead_letter_invocations	count	The count of how many dead letter invocatons occur due to a poor `rulename`.
aws.eventbridge.events	count	The count of times events have been ignored by EventBridge.
aws.eventbridge.failed_invocations	count	The count of all events that have failed to work.
aws.eventbridge.ingestion_to_invocation_start_latency	milliseconds	The amount of time it takes for event to be queued by the server to its invocation
aws.eventbridge.invocations	count	How many times a rule reacts to an event by invoking a target. This covers both successful and unsuccessful invocations, but it excludes throttled or repeatedly failed attempts that eventually fail. `DeadLetterInvocations` are excluded from this list.

aws.eventbridge.invocations_sent_to_dlq	count	The number of succesfull invocations sent to a dead letter.
aws.eventbridge.matched_events	count	The count of rules that matched with event bridge's rule.
