Application load balancer metrics present in the aws documentation not availaible in console

Question

While trying to work with few of the Cloudwatch metrics for Application load balancer , i could see few of the metrics defined in the AWS documentation , aren't available in the AWS console. ClientTLSNegotiationErrorCount , DroppedInvalidHeaderRequestCount , HTTP_Redirect_Count and RejectedConnectionCount being a few of them .

Is it something to do with the region as am using frankfurt or is it a documentation error.

Answer 1

They are all there if you keep in mind that:

If there are no requests flowing through the load balancer or no data for a metric, the metric is not reported.

For example:

You can even find some of them, if they have been reported, in the CloudWatch Console.
