Overview

Deploy this integration to send metrics from your CloudWatch 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.

This integration currently only available on Logz.io regions US-east-1 and EU-central-1.
