Athena publishes calculation-related metrics to Amazon CloudWatch when the Publish CloudWatch metrics option for your Spark-enabled workgroup is selected. You can create custom dashboards, set alarms and triggers on metrics in the CloudWatch console.
Athena publishes the following metric to the CloudWatch console under the
AmazonAthenaForApacheSpark namespace:
-
DPUCount– number of DPUs consumed during the session to execute the calculations.
This metric has the following dimensions:
-
SessionId– The ID of the session in which the calculations are submitted. -
WorkGroup– Name of the workgroup.
To view metrics for Spark-enabled workgroups in the Amazon CloudWatch console
Open the CloudWatch console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Metrics, All metrics.
