AWS Grafana GameLift Hard Coded Metrics

Grafana Configuration
1

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?

  • What are you trying to achieve? Ingesting GameLift Metrics From CloudWatch found that not all GameLift metrics are provided from drop down as they are hard-coded

Have to manually enter metrics such as
AvailableGameServers
DrainingUtilizedGameServers
DrainingAvailableGameServers
UtilizedGameServers

These are standard GameLift Fleet IQ metrics as per AWS documentation [1]. Attaching screen-shots for reference.

Can you please add these metrics to Grafana

That drop down is there only for your convienence. But you can write any metric (the same apply for dimension, namespace, statistic, …) name - just follow UI instructions:

And of course the best way is to create PR, where you will add those missing metrics, so they will be available in the drop down in the future.
