AWS Metrics in Sysdig Legacy Format
Sysdig follows the Prometheus-compatible naming convention for both metrics and labels as opposed to the previous statsd-compatible, legacy Sysdig naming convention. This page shows metrics in the legacy Sysdig naming convention. See Metrics and Label Mapping for the mapping between Sysdig legacy and Prometheus naming conventions.
For information about how Sysdig licensing affects the AWS metrics displayed in the Monitor UI, see About AWS Cloudwatch Licensing.
At this time, all cloudProvider metrics are AWS-related.
cloudProvider.account.id

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.
