I have question about Metrics

avadhi — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 16:31:10 GMT

Hello
I am working on the DynamoDB metrics, where I have found some metrics are available in the cloudwatch but not in the splunk.
List of metrics which are available in the cloudwatch but not in the splunk.

ReadThrottleEvents

ThrottledRequests

WriteThrottleEvents

System errors

What can be reason for this?
Thank you

Hi @avadhi,

Your question is a few months old, but did you find a solution?

Splunk Add-on for Amazon Web Services (AWS) collects the following AWS/DynamoDB metrics by default after the namespace is added to a CloudWatch input:

"AWS/DynamoDB": [ "ConditionalCheckFailedRequests", "ConsumedReadCapacityUnits", "ConsumedWriteCapacityUnits", "OnlineIndexConsumedWriteCapacity", "OnlineIndexPercentageProgress", "OnlineIndexThrottleEvents", "ProvisionedReadCapacityUnits", "ProvisionedWriteCapacityUnits", "ReadThrottleEvents", "ReturnedBytes", "ReturnedItemCount", "ReturnedRecordsCount", "SuccessfulRequestLatency", "SystemErrors", "ThrottledRequests", "UserErrors", "WriteThrottleEvents", ]

If you don't see your metrics when editing the input configuration, try upgrading your Splunk Add-on for AWS installation. If you do see the metrics, verify you can see data in CloudWatch using the AWS Management Console or the AWS CLI.
