Default AWS metrics do not show how many permit jobs a worker cleared from a custom backlog. What should the code emit?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
AWS ships lots of infrastructure meters, not your permit-backlog KPI. Emit a custom CloudWatch metric from the app when the business number matters.
Full Explanation
Application code can emit custom metrics to CloudWatch when AWS default metrics omit business KPIs such as jobs drained from a backlog. PutMetricData or embedded metric format are common approaches. Health Dashboard, VPC Flow Logs, and Route 53 query logs do not replace that application KPI.
