Mountpoint for Amazon S3 and Mountpoint for Amazon S3 CSI driver add monitoring capability

Mountpoint Monitoring Capability

You can now monitor Mountpoint operations in observability tools such as Amazon CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana. Mountpoint emits near real-time metrics using OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP). This allows you to publish metrics into observability tools and create dashboards for monitoring and troubleshooting.

Previously, Mountpoint emitted operational data into log files, requiring custom tools for insights. Now, when you mount your Amazon S3 bucket, you can configure Mountpoint to publish metrics to an observability tool to proactively monitor issues that might impact your applications.

What to do

• Follow the step-by-step instructions to set up the CloudWatch agent or the OTel collector.
• Configure Mountpoint to publish metrics into an observability tool.
