Metrics and Key Performance Indicators

Cisco Cloud Observability displays the following metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for AWS Backup. See AWS Backup metrics with Amazon CloudWatch.

Display Name	Source Metric Name	Description
Number of Backup Jobs	`NumberOfBackupJobsCreated`	The number of backup jobs that AWS Backup created.
	`NumberOfBackupJobsPending`	The number of backup jobs about to run in AWS Backup.
	`NumberOfBackupJobsRunning`	The number of backup jobs currently running in AWS Backup.
	`NumberOfBackupJobsAborted`	The number of user cancelled backup jobs.
	`NumberOfBackupJobsCompleted`	The number of backup jobs that AWS Backup finished.
	`NumberOfBackupJobsFailed`	The number of backup jobs with status of `Failed`. Often caused by scheduling a backup job during or 1 hour before a database resource or 4 hours before or during a Amazon FSx maintenance window or automated backup window and not using AWS Backup to perform continuous backup for point-in-time restores.
	`NumberOfBackupJobsExpired`	The number of backup jobs that AWS Backup attempted to delete based on your backup retention lifecycle, but could not delete. You are billed for the storage that expired backups consume and should delete them manually.
Number of Copy Jobs	`NumberOfCopyJobsCreated`	The number of cross-account and cross-Region copy jobs that AWS Backup created.
	`NumberOfCopyJobsRunning`	The number of cross-account and cross-Region copy jobs currently running in AWS Backup.
	`NumberOfCopyJobsCompleted`	The number of cross-account and cross-Region copy jobs that AWS Backup finished.
	`NumberOfCopyJobsFailed`	The number of cross-account and cross-Region copy jobs that AWS Backup attempted but could not complete.
Number of Restore Jobs	`NumberOfRestoreJobsPending`	The number of restore jobs about to run in AWS Backup.
	`NumberOfRestoreJobsRunning`	The number of restore jobs currently running in AWS Backup.
	`NumberOfRestoreJobsCompleted`	The number of restore jobs that AWS Backup finished.
	`NumberOfRestoreJobsFailed`	The number of restore jobs that AWS Backup attempted but could not complete.
Number of Recovery Points	`NumberOfRecoveryPointsCompleted`	The number of recovery points that AWS Backup created.
	`NumberOfRecoveryPointsPartial`	The number of recovery points that AWS Backup started to create but could not finish. AWS retries the process later, but because the retry occurs at the later time, it retains the partial recovery point.
	`NumberOfRecoveryPointsExpired`	The number of recovery points that AWS Backup attempted to delete based on your backup retention lifecycle, but could not delete. You are billed for the storage that expired backups consume and should delete them manually.
	`NumberOfRecoveryPointsDeleting`	The number of recovery points that AWS Backup is deleting.
	`NumberOfRecoveryPointsCold`	The number of recovery points that AWS Backup tiered to cold storage.
