AWS Backup adds Amazon CloudWatch metrics to its console dashboard

AWS Backup now provides you a way to centrally view your Amazon CloudWatch metrics for your data protection jobs directly in the AWS Backup console. With this launch, you can monitor your data protection metrics (of backup, copy, and restore jobs) for all the AWS Backup supported services, spanning compute, storage, databases, and third-party applications.

TO ACCESS THE DASHBOARD

1. Open the AWS Backup console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/backup.

2. Select Dashboard in the left-hand navigation pane.

Metrics with CloudWatch
You can use CloudWatch to monitor AWS Backup metrics. The AWS/Backup namespace allows you to track the following metrics. AWS Backup emits updated metrics to CloudWatch every 5 minutes.

The following table lists all the metrics available to you.

More dimensions are available beyond those listed in the table. To view all the dimensions of a metric, type the name of that metric into the AWS/Backup namespace of the Metrics section of the CloudWatch console.
