Amazon EBS Performance Monitoring Metrics

Amazon EBS now provides additional visibility to monitor the average IOPS and average throughput of your EBS volumes with two new CloudWatch metrics: VolumeAvgIOPS and VolumeAvgThroughput. These metrics offer per-minute visibility into the driven average IOPS and average throughput on your EBS volume, helping you troubleshoot performance bottlenecks and optimize your volume’s provisioned performance.

The 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.

What to do

  • Monitor your EBS volumes using the new CloudWatch metrics.
  • Create customized dashboards and set alarms based on the new metrics.
  • Optimize your volume’s provisioned performance to meet your application needs.
