AWS::CloudWatch::ResourceMetricsConfiguration

Turns on CloudWatch detailed monitoring for an individual AWS resource. Also defines which detailed metrics CloudWatch collects for it. Detailed monitoring provides higher-resolution OpenTelemetry metrics for supported resources.

Each resource can have at most one ResourceMetricsConfiguration. The resource is identified by its Amazon Resource Name (ARN), and the ARN also serves as the identifier for this CloudFormation resource. Creating the resource turns on detailed monitoring. Deleting the resource turns detailed monitoring off, but it does not delete metric data that CloudWatch already collected.

For the list of resource types that support detailed monitoring, see Supported resources for CloudWatch detailed monitoring in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
