AWS ElastiCache

note

For a much easier and more efficient way to collect and send metrics, consider using the Logz.io telemetry collector.

Deploy this integration to send your Amazon ElastiCache metrics to Logz.io.

This integration creates a Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream that links to your Amazon ElastiCache metrics stream and then sends the metrics to your Logz.io account. It also creates a Lambda function that adds AWS namespaces to the metric stream, and a Lambda function that collects and ships the resources' tags.

Before you begin, you'll need:

• An active account with Logz.io

Configure AWS to forward metrics to Logz.io

Specify stack details

Specify the stack details as per the table below, check the checkboxes and select Create stack.

Parameter	Description	Required/Default
logzioListener	The Logz.io listener URL for your region. (For more details, see the regions page. For example - https://listener.logz.io:8053	Required
logzioToken	Your Logz.io metrics shipping token.	Required
awsNamespaces	Comma-separated list of the AWS namespaces you want to monitor. See this list of namespaces. If you want to automatically add all namespaces, use value all-namespaces.	At least one of awsNamespaces or customNamespace is required
customNamespace	A custom namespace for CloudWatch metrics. This is used to specify a namespace unique to your setup, separate from the standard AWS namespaces.	At least one of awsNamespaces or customNamespace is required
logzioDestination	Your Logz.io destination URL.	Required
httpEndpointDestinationIntervalInSeconds	The length of time, in seconds, that Kinesis Data Firehose buffers incoming data before delivering it to the destination.	60
httpEndpointDestinationSizeInMBs	The size of the buffer, in MBs, that Kinesis Data Firehose uses for incoming data before delivering it to the destination.	5
debugMode	Enable debug mode for detailed logging (true/false).	false

Check Logz.io for your metrics

Give your data some time to get from your system to ours, then log in to your Logz.io Metrics account, and open the Logz.io Metrics tab.
