AWS EBS monitoring encompasses several specialized services, each targeting specific aspects of volume performance:
-
EBS Performance Optimization
- Description: Monitors key performance metrics of EBS volumes to ensure they are operating efficiently.
- Dependent Services: EBS Write Operations, EBS Read Operations, EBS Latency Monitoring
-
EBS I/O Balance
- Description: Ensures that EBS volumes are adequately balanced to handle current and future workloads.
- Dependent Services: EBS Utilization Monitoring, EBS Burst Balance Monitoring
-
EBS Throughput
- Description: Monitors the throughput of read and write operations on EBS volumes.
- Dependent Services: EBS Write Operations, EBS Read Operations
-
EBS Utilization Monitoring
- Description: Monitors the utilization levels of EBS volumes to ensure they are being used efficiently.
- Dependent Services: None
Each service utilizes specific KPIs to measure its effectiveness:
-
VolumeWriteOps
- Description: Average number of write operations per second to an EBS volume.
- Service: EBS Performance Optimization
-
VolumeReadOps
- Description: Number of read operations performed on the volume.
- Service: EBS Performance Optimization
-
VolumeTotalReadTime
- Description: Total time spent on read operations.
- Service: EBS Performance Optimization
-
VolumeTotalWriteTime
- Description: Total time spent on write operations.
- Service: EBS Performance Optimization
-
BurstBalance
- Description: Percentage of I/O credits available for burstable performance.
- Service: EBS I/O Balance
-
VolumeReadBytes
- Description: Total number of bytes read from the volume.
- Service: EBS Throughput
-
VolumeWriteBytes
- Description: Total number of bytes written to the volume.
- Service: EBS Throughput
-
VolumeIdleTime
- Description: Amount of time the volume is idle.
- Service: EBS Utilization Monitoring
-
VolumeQueueLength
- Description: Number of pending I/O requests in the queue.
- Service: EBS Utilization Monitoring
Services are interconnected; for instance, EBS Performance Optimization is dependent on EBS Write Operations, EBS Read Operations, and EBS Latency Monitoring. Similarly, EBS I/O Balance relies on EBS Utilization Monitoring and EBS Burst Balance Monitoring.
Some services form a hierarchy, such as EBS Performance Optimization depending on lower-level KPIs like VolumeWriteOps and VolumeReadOps, illustrating a layered approach to performance monitoring where base metrics support broader performance indicators.
