Monitor a staging distribution
To monitor the performance of a staging distribution, you can use the same metrics, logs, and reports that CloudFront provides for all distributions. For example:
-
You can view the default CloudFront distribution metrics (such as total requests and error rate) in the CloudFront console, and you can turn on additional metrics (such as cache hit rate and error rate by status code) for an additional cost. You can also create alarms based on these metrics.
-
You can view standard logs and real-time logs to get detailed information about the requests that are received by the staging distribution. Standard logs contain the following two fields that help you identify the primary distribution that the request was originally sent to before CloudFront routed it to the staging distribution:
primary-distribution-idandprimary-distribution-dns-name. -
You can view and download reports in the CloudFront console, for example the cache statistics report.
