Cloud Data Collection
Last updated on 28 April, 2024Similar to how the Poll Now feature can be used to troubleshoot traditional, local Collector-based LogicModules, you can use Poll Now to troubleshoot CloudWatch data collection. Remember that CloudWatch data is collected via a LogicMonitor maintained Collector. Poll Now provides the visibility you need to identify potential issues in data collection, such as permission issues or DataSource mis-configurations. Examples of when you may find Poll Now useful include:
- Troubleshooting DataSources configured to collect custom CloudWatch metrics
- Troubleshooting a lack of non-custom CloudWatch metrics
The Poll Now feature displays on the Raw Data tab:
When selected, it will poll AWS CloudWatch and display:
- Data returned
- Complex datapoint expressions
- CloudWatch GetMetricStatistics Request details (including values for tokens present in datapoint metric paths)
- HTTP Status returned by AWS API
- Error message/code returned by AWS API
