Ping Statistics

Check Logz.io for your metrics
Give your metrics some time to get from your system to ours, and then open Open Search Dashboards. All metrics that were sent from the Lambda function will have the prefix ping_stats in their name.
Log in to your Logz.io account and navigate to the current instructions page inside the Logz.io app. Install the pre-built dashboard to enhance the observability of your metrics.
To view the metrics on the main dashboard, log in to your Logz.io Metrics account, and open the Logz.io Metrics tab.
