AWS Elastic Load Balancing Metrics

The Sumo Logic App for AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) Metrics lets you analyze the CloudWatch ELB metrics for the Application Load Balancer (ALB), and the Classic Load Balancer (CLB). The App provides preconfigured searches and dashboards that allow you to monitor the metrics healthy hosts, unhealthy hosts, HTTP backend codes, latency, requests, and more.

For details on Amazon CloudWatch collected metrics, refer to: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CW_Support_For_AWS.html

For information on collecting unified logs and metrics for AWS Elastic Load Balancing Metrics, see AWS Elastic Load Balancing ULM - Application.

To collect AWS Elastic Load Balancing Metrics, perform the following tasks:

Installing the AWS ELB Metrics App

Now that you have configured AWS ELB Metrics, install the Sumo Logic App for AWS Elastic Load Balancing Metrics to take advantage of the preconfigured searches and dashboards to analyze your data.

To install the app:

Locate and install the app you need from the App Catalog. If you want to see a preview of the dashboards included with the app before installing, click Preview Dashboards

From the App Catalog, search for and select the app.
Select the version of the service you're using and click Add to Library. Version selection is applicable only to a few apps currently. For more information, see Installing the Apps from the Library.
To install the app, complete the following fields.
1. App Name. You can retain the existing name, or enter a name of your choice for the app. 
2. Data Source. Select either of these options for the data source. 
  - Choose Source Category, and select a source category from the list. 
  - Choose Enter a Custom Data Filter, and enter a custom source category beginning with an underscore. Example: (_sourceCategory=MyCategory). 
3. Advanced. Select the Location in Library (the default is the Personal folder in the library), or click New Folder to add a new folder.
Click Add to Library.

Once an app is installed, it will appear in your Personal folder, or other folder that you specified. From here, you can share it with your organization.

Panels will start to fill automatically. It's important to note that each panel slowly fills with data matching the time range query and received since the panel was created. Results won't immediately be available, but with a bit of time, you'll see full graphs and maps.
