Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a cost-effective, outbound-only email-sending service.
Enable this integration to see in Datadog all your SES metrics.
If you haven’t already, set up the Amazon Web Services integration first.
In the AWS integration page, ensure that SES is enabled under the Metric Collection tab.
Add those permissions to your Datadog IAM policy in order to collect Amazon SES metrics:
ses:GetSendQuota: Add metrics about send quotas.ses:GetSendStatistics: Add metrics about send statistics.For more information, see the SES policies on the AWS website.
Install the Datadog - AWS SES integration.
Configure Amazon SES to send logs either to a S3 bucket or to CloudWatch.
Note: If you log to a S3 bucket, make sure that amazon_ses is set as Target prefix.
If you haven’t already, set up the Datadog log collection AWS Lambda function.
Once the lambda function is installed, manually add a trigger on the S3 bucket or CloudWatch log group that contains your Amazon SES logs in the AWS console:

| aws.ses.bounce.sum (gauge) | The total number of emails that resulted in a bounce. Shown as response |
