Missing metrics in CloudWatch/Grafana

amazon-cloudwatchelastic-beanstalkgrafana

I'm setting up some dashboards in Grafana using data from AWS CloudWatch for an EB application.

It works fine for getting EnvironmentHealth, however for anything else I get "No data point".

I have tried selecting ApplicationRequestsTotal ApplicationRequests2xx CPUIdle Different latencies, etc

On AWS documentation I don't see any different recommendation for other metric types.

Works:
us-east-1 → AWS/ElasticBeanstalk → EnvironmentHealth → Stats → Maximum

Don't work:
us-east-1 → AWS/ElasticBeanstalk → ApplicationRequestsTotal → Stats → Maximum

I have also changed from Maximum to Average, Minimum, etc.

Even going to AWS CloudWatch to create dashboard I can only see the EnvironmentHealth metric when I select per Environment.

Do I have to enable anything on CloudWatch to allow other metrics?

Best Answer

In Elastic Beanstalk, go to your env, configuration, monitoring and choose the metrics that you want to see.

You should also be aware that this might induce additional charges to your aws account.

Some stats are also available as part of ELB metrics in CloudWatch.

Graphite-API & Grafana: dashboard stuck: “Refresh every {{ctrl.dashboard.refresh}}”

Spotted the error in the JSON file after all.

Looks like time block was wrong, it was:

"time": {
    "from": null,
    "to": null
},

and I changed that too:

"time": {
   "from": "now-3h",
   "to": "now"
},

sadly I could not find how to do that from the interface itself in browser.

Windows – Monitoring server uptime with telegraf / grafana on windows

You can use the Windows "System" object, with the "System Up Time" counter for server up time in seconds. For example, add this to your monitored Windows host's telegraf.conf:

[[inputs.win_perf_counters]]
...
    #####  System  #####
    [[inputs.win_perf_counters.object]]
        ObjectName = "System"
        Counters = ["System Up Time"]
        Instances = ["------"]
        Measurement = "win_system"
        #IncludeTotal=false #Set to true to include _Total instance when querying for all (*).

See win_perf_counters plugin
