This integration collects metrics from AWS Direct Connect, such as connection state, bit rate ingress and egress, packet rate ingress and egress, and more.
Once the lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the S3 bucket or CloudWatch log group that contains your Amazon Direct Connect logs in the AWS console:
The state of the connection. 0 indicates DOWN and 1 indicates UP.
aws.dx.connection_bps_egress (rate)
The bit rate for outbound data from the AWS side of the connection. Shown as bit
aws.dx.connection_bps_ingress (rate)
The bit rate for inbound data to the AWS side of the connection. Shown as bit
aws.dx.connection_pps_egress (rate)
The packet rate for outbound data from the AWS side of the connection. Shown as packet
aws.dx.connection_pps_ingress (rate)
The packet rate for inbound data to the AWS side of the connection. Shown as packet
aws.dx.connection_error_count (count)
The total error count for all types of MAC level errors on the AWS device. The total includes cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors. Shown as error
aws.dx.connection_light_level_tx (gauge)
Indicates the health of the fiber connection for egress (outbound) traffic from the AWS side of the connection.
aws.dx.connection_light_level_rx (gauge)
Indicates the health of the fiber connection for ingress (inbound) traffic to the AWS side of the connection.
aws.dx.virtual_interface_bps_egress (rate)
The bitrate for outbound data from the AWS side of the virtual interface. Shown as bit
aws.dx.virtual_interface_bps_ingress (rate)
The bitrate for inbound data to the AWS side of the virtual interface. Shown as bit
aws.dx.virtual_interface_pps_egress (rate)
The packet rate for outbound data from the AWS side of the virtual interface. Shown as packet
aws.dx.virtual_interface_pps_ingress (rate)
The packet rate for inbound data to the AWS side of the virtual interface. Shown as packet
Each of the metrics retrieved from AWS are assigned the same tags that appear in the AWS console, including but not limited to host name, security-groups, and more.
