Amazon CloudWatch is essential for monitoring AWS resources. Users may want to export metrics to third-party systems for centralized observability. Coralogix offers a solution as an AWS Partner Network technology partner. It allows for real-time analytics, monitoring, and alerting without storage or indexing. Integrating CloudWatch metrics with Coralogix using AWS resource tags in a monitoring setup improves observability.
CloudWatch provides a streamlined way to export metrics using metric streams. By combining CloudWatch, Amazon Data Firehose, and a Lambda transformation, users can enhance metrics with resource tags before sending them to Coralogix. This process enables resource tags to be directly used in queries for creating custom dashboards. The Lambda transformation retrieves resource information from AWS Tagging API and associates it with CloudWatch metrics.
To set up the integration, users need an AWS account and a Coralogix account. They can configure a Lambda function for metrics enhancement, create an Amazon Data Firehose stream, and add the Lambda to transform records. Monitoring delays can be managed by adjusting Lambda buffer hint and Amazon Data Firehose buffer size settings. In Coralogix, users can create custom dashboards with AWS-enriched metrics and apply custom filters based on AWS tags for better visualization.
To remove services and avoid runtime costs, users can delete CloudWatch metrics stream, Data Firehose delivery stream, Lambda function, and corresponding objects in Coralogix. Enriching CloudWatch metrics with Lambda transformation allows for viewing metrics in custom dashboards based on business logic. This integration simplifies observability and enhances insights into AWS services and infrastructure. Users can follow detailed steps for integration setup and visit AWS Marketplace Listing for Coralogix SaaS purchase or free trial.
