Overview
Deploy this integration to send your CloudWatch metrics to Logz.io.
This integration creates a Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream that links to your CloudWatch 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.
