Cloud Provider
Note: Sysdig follows the Prometheus-compabtible naming convention for both metrics and labels as opposed to the previous statsd-compatible, legacy Sysdig naming convention. However, this page still shows metrics in the legacy Sysdig naming convention. Until this page is updated, see Metrics and Label Mapping for the mapping between Sysdig legacy and Prometheus naming conventions.
At this time, all cloudProvider metrics are AWS-related.

This metric is useful if there are multiple accounts linked with Sysdig
Monitor.

cloudProvider.instance.type
The type of instance (for example, AWS or Rackspace).
This metric is extremely useful to segment instances and compare their
resource usage and saturation. You can use it as a grouping criteria for
the explore table to quickly explore AWS usage on a per-instance-type
basis. You can also use it to compare things like CPU usage, number of
requests or network utilization for different instance types.
Use this grouping criteria in conjunction with the host.count metric to
easily create a report on how many instances of each type you have.

1.1 - Elasticache
Amazon ElastiCache is a cloud-caching service that increases the
performance, speed, and redundancy with which applications can retrieve
data by providing an in-memory database caching system.
aws.elasticache.CPUUtilization
The percentage of CPU utilization.
When reaching high utilization and your main workload is from read
requests, scale your cache cluster out by adding read replicas. If the
main workload is from write requests, scale up by using a larger cache
instance type.

1.6 - DynamoDB
DynamoDB is a fully managed proprietary NoSQL database service that
supports key-value and document data structures and is offered by Amazon
as part of the Amazon Web Services portfolio. Amazon CloudWatch
aggregates the DynamoDB metrics at one-minute intervals.
In DynamoDB, provisioned throughput requirements are specified in terms
of capacity units: Read Capacity unit and Write Capacity unit. A unit of
read capacity represents one strongly consistent read per second for
items up to 4 KB in size. One write capacity unit represents one write
per second for items up to 1 KB in size. Larger items will require more
capacity. You can calculate the number of units of read and write
capacity by estimating the number of reads or writes required per second
and multiplying by the size of the items rounded up to the nearest KB.
For more information, see the Amazon
DynamoDB
documentation.

of seconds in a minute (60) to calculate the
average ConsumedReadCapacityUnits per second.
