Amazon EBS now provides additional visibility to monitor the average IOPS and average throughput of your Amazon EBS volumes with two new CloudWatch metrics – VolumeAvgIOPS and VolumeAvgThroughput. You can use the metrics to monitor the I/O being driven on your EBS volumes to track performance trends.
With these new volume level metrics, you can troubleshoot performance bottlenecks and optimize your volume’s provisioned performance to meet your application needs. The metrics will provide per-minute visibility into the driven average IOPS and average throughput on your EBS volume. With Amazon CloudWatch, you can use the new metrics to create customized dashboards and set alarms that notify you or automatically perform actions based on the metrics.
The VolumeAvgIOPS and VolumeAvgThroughput metrics are available by default at a 1-minute frequency at no additional charge and are supported for all EBS volumes attached to an EC2 Nitro instance in all Commercial AWS Regions, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and AWS China Regions. To learn more about these new metrics, please visit the EBS CloudWatch Metrics documentation.
