如何订阅 cloudwatch 指标数据？

Question

I am using Elasitsearch to get logs from cloudwatch log group by subscribing a lambda to the log group. So whenever there is a log event pushed to the log group, my lambda will be triggered and it will save the log to Elasticsearch. Then I can search the log via Kibana dashboard.

I'd like to put the metrics data to Elasticsearch as well but I couldn't find a way to subscribe to metrics data.

Answer 1

You can use AWS Module in MetricBeat from the Elastic Beat's family. Note that pulling metrics from cloudwatch will result in chargeable API calls. So you should carefully consider the scraping frequency.
