CloudWatch Metrics

Spring Cloud AWS provides Spring Boot auto-configuration for Micrometer CloudWatch integration. To send metrics to CloudWatch add a dependency to micrometer-registry-cloudwatch module:

<dependency>
	<groupId>io.micrometer</groupId>
	<artifactId>micrometer-registry-cloudwatch</artifactId>
</dependency>

Additionally CloudWatch integration requires a value provided for management.metrics.export.cloudwatch.namespace configuration property.

Following configuration properties are available to configure CloudWatch integration:

property	default	description
management.metrics.export.cloudwatch.namespace		The namespace which will be used when sending metrics to CloudWatch. This property is needed and must not be null.
management.metrics.export.cloudwatch.enabled	true	If CloudWatch integration should be enabled. This property should be likely set to false for a local development profile.
management.metrics.export.cloudwatch.region		The specific region for CloudWatch integration.
management.metrics.export.cloudwatch.step	1m	The interval at which metrics are sent to CloudWatch. The default is 1 minute.
