AWS lambda metricset
AWS Lambda monitors functions and sends metrics to Amazon CloudWatch. These metrics include total invocations, errors, duration, throttles, dead-letter queue errors, and iterator age for stream-based invocations.
Some specific AWS permissions are required for IAM user to collect AWS EBS metrics.

The aws lambda metricset comes with a predefined dashboard. For example:
- module: aws
period: 300s
metricsets:
- lambda
# This module uses the aws cloudwatch metricset, all
# the options for this metricset are also available here.
Please see more details for each metric in lambda-cloudwatch-metric.
| Metric Name | Statistic Method |
| Invocations | Average |
| Errors | Average |
| DeadLetterErrors | Average |
| DestinationDeliveryFailures | Average |
| Duration | Average |
| Throttles | Average |
| IteratorAge | Average |
| ConcurrentExecutions | Average |
