Amazon Kinesis

Amazon Kinesis processes and analyzes streaming data at scale as a fully managed service. Cisco Cloud Observability supports monitoring basic (stream-level) monitoring for Kinesis data streams.

You must configure cloud connections to monitor this entity. See Set up Cisco AppDynamics Cloud Collectors to Monitor AWS.

Cisco Cloud Observability displays AWS entities on the Observe page. Metrics are displayed for specific entity instances in the list and detail views.

Detail View

To display the detail view of an Amazon Kinesis data stream instance:

Navigate to the Observe page.
Under Analytics, click an AWS Kinesis Data Streams group.
The list view now displays.
From the list, click an instance Name to display the detail view.
The detail view displays the metrics, key performance indicators, and properties (attributes) related to the instance you selected.

Metrics and Key Performance Indicators

Cisco Cloud Observability displays the following metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for Amazon Kinesis. See Monitoring the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Service with Amazon CloudWatch.

Display Name	Source Metric	Description
Data Stream Bytes	`GetRecords.Bytes`	The number of bytes retrieved from the Kinesis stream, measured over the specified time period. Minimum, Maximum, and Average statistics represent the bytes in a single `GetRecords` operation for the stream in the specified time period.
	`PutRecord.Bytes`	The number of bytes put to the Kinesis stream using the `PutRecord` operation over the specified time period.
	`PutRecords.Bytes`	The number of bytes put to the Kinesis stream using the `PutRecords` operation over the specified time period.
	`IncomingBytes`	The number of bytes successfully put to the Kinesis stream over the specified time period. This metric includes bytes from `PutRecord` and `PutRecords` operations. Minimum, Maximum, and Average statistics represent the bytes in a single put operation for the stream in the specified time period.
Data Stream Records (Count)	`GetRecords.Records`	The number of records retrieved from the shard, measured over the specified time period. Minimum, Maximum, and Average statistics represent the records in a single `GetRecords` operation for the stream in the specified time period.
	`PutRecords.SuccessfulRecords`	The number of successful records in a `PutRecords` operation per Kinesis data stream, measured over the specified time period.
	`PutRecords.TotalRecords`	The total number of records sent in a `PutRecords` operation per Kinesis data stream, measured over the specified time period.
	`PutRecords.FailedRecords`	The number of records rejected due to internal failures in a `PutRecords` operation per Kinesis data stream, measured over the specified time period. Occasional internal failures are to be expected and should be retried.
	`PutRecords.ThrottledRecords`	The number of records rejected due to throttling in a `PutRecords` operation per Kinesis data stream, measured over the specified time period.
	`IncomingRecords`	The number of records successfully put to the shard over the specified time period. This metric includes record counts from `PutRecord` and `PutRecords` operations. Minimum, Maximum, and Average statistics represent the records in a single put operation for the shard in the specified time period.
Iterator Age (ms)	`GetRecords.IteratorAgeMilliseconds`	The age of the last record in all `GetRecords` calls made against a Kinesis stream, measured over the specified time period. Age is the difference between the current time and when the last record of the `GetRecords` call was written to the stream. The Minimum and Maximum statistics can be used to track the progress of Kinesis consumer applications. A value of zero indicates that the records being read are completely caught up with the stream.
Latency (ms)	`GetRecords.latency`	The time taken per `GetRecords` operation, measured over the specified time period.
	`PutRecord.latency`	The time taken per `PutRecord` operation, measured over the specified time period.
	`PutRecords.latency`	The time taken per `PutRecords` operation, measured over the specified time period.
Success (Operations)	`GetRecords.Success`	The number of successful `GetRecords` operations per stream, measured over the specified time period.
	`PutRecord.Success`	The number of successful `PutRecord` operations per Kinesis stream, measured over the specified time period. Average reflects the percentage of successful writes to a stream.
	`PutRecords.Success`	The number of `PutRecords` operations where at least one record succeeded, per Kinesis stream, measured over the specified time period.
Provisioned Throughput Exceeded (Records)	`ReadProvisionedThroughputExceeded`	The number of `GetRecords` calls throttled for the stream over the specified time period. The most commonly used statistic for this metric is Average. When the Minimum statistic has a value of 1, all records were throttled for the stream during the specified time period. When the Maximum statistic has a value of 0 (zero), no records were throttled for the stream during the specified time period.
Provisioned Throughput Exceeded (Records)	`WriteProvisionedThroughputExceeded`	The number of records rejected due to throttling for the stream over the specified time period. This metric includes throttling from `PutRecord` and `PutRecords` operations. The most commonly used statistic for this metric is Average. When the Minimum statistic has a non-zero value, records were being throttled for the stream during the specified time period. When the Maximum statistic has a value of 0 (zero), no records were being throttled for the stream during the specified time period.
