AWS Gateway Load Balancer metrics

Once you’ve integrated with AWS CloudWatch, you have access to metrics from AWS Gateway Load Balancer, which distributes your incoming traffic between a number of targets in one or more availability zones.

See all AWS integrations.

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