Collect critical AWS metrics faster with Sysdig

Sysdig has announced support for Amazon CloudWatch Metric Streams, enabling real-time ingestion of metrics from AWS CloudWatch to enhance the monitoring capabilities of Sysdig Monitor. This new support allows for a push-based model of metric ingestion, reducing Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) by providing near real-time access to metrics from over 70 AWS services, such as ECS and EC2. Unlike the traditional pull-based model that introduces latency, the push model delivers metrics based on the criticality and frequency set by the source service, offering a more immediate view of system performance and health. The integration with Sysdig Monitor is facilitated through CloudFormation templates, allowing users to configure streams easily and leverage pre-built dashboards and alerts for monitoring. This development aims to provide a comprehensive, unified monitoring solution that enhances visibility and reduces MTTR, helping organizations maintain optimal application and infrastructure health while mitigating the risk of performance issues.
