This package contains Kibana assets for monitoring ELB load balancers with AWS CloudWatch metrics collected by the OpenTelemetry Collector. The package is **content only**. It provides a curated metrics dashboard, but it does not configure data collection. Use the **AWS CloudWatch OpenTelemetry Input Package** (`aws_cloudwatch_input_otel`) to configure the OpenTelemetry Collector CloudWatch receiver and collect the required AWS service metrics into Elasticsearch. ## Data requirements - CloudWatch metrics collected by the OpenTelemetry Collector AWS CloudWatch receiver. - Documents indexed into the `metrics-aws.elb.otel-*` data stream. - The relevant AWS dimensions for this service, such as resource name, region, and service-specific identifiers. ## Compatibility Requires Kibana `^9.5.0`. ## Dashboards This package includes one pre-built Kibana dashboard: | Name | Description | |------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [AWS ELB OTel] Metrics | AWS ELB metrics dashboard for CloudWatch metrics collected by the OpenTelemetry Collector. | ## Alerting Rule Templates Alert rule templates provide pre-defined configurations for creating alert rules in Kibana. For more information, refer to the [Elastic documentation](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/fleet/alerting-rule-templates). Alert rule templates require Elastic Stack version 9.2.0 or later. **The following alert rule templates are available:** | Name | Description | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [AWS ELB OTel] High Application Load Balancer 5XX error rate | Alerts when load-balancer-generated 5XX error rate exceeds a tunable threshold. Indicates edge/infrastructure failures such as no healthy targets, connection timeouts, or LB capacity issues. | | [AWS ELB OTel] Application Load Balancer rejected connections detected | Alerts when the ALB rejects connections because it reached its connection ceiling. A hard capacity-class failure requiring immediate attention. | | [AWS ELB OTel] High Application Load Balancer target 5XX error rate | Alerts when target-generated 5XX error rate exceeds a tunable threshold for any load balancer target group. Indicates application or backend failures behind the ALB. | | [AWS ELB OTel] High Application Load Balancer target response time (average) | Alerts when average target response time exceeds a tunable threshold. Indicates typical backend latency degradation even when error rates remain low. | | [AWS ELB OTel] High Application Load Balancer target response time (tail) | Alerts when peak (maximum) target response time exceeds a tunable threshold. Serves as a tail-latency proxy where CloudWatch percentiles are unavailable. | | [AWS ELB OTel] Application Load Balancer unhealthy targets detected | Alerts when any target in a target group is failing health checks (UnHealthyHostCount > 0). Early warning before healthy capacity collapses to zero. | ## SLO Templates SLO templates provide pre-defined configurations for creating SLOs in Kibana. For more information, refer to the [Elastic documentation](https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/observability/incident-management/service-level-objectives-slos). SLO templates require Elastic Stack version 9.4.0 or later. **The following SLO templates are available:** | Name | Description | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [AWS ELB OTel] Application Load Balancer request availability 99.5% rolling 30 days | Tracks Application Load Balancer request availability by keeping the combined ELB-generated and target-generated 5XX error rate below 0.5% in each 1-minute interval. Scoped per load balancer and region; aggregates all target groups behind the load balancer. A rolling 30-day target of 99.5% ensures users receive successful responses at the edge. | | [AWS ELB OTel] Application Load Balancer target response time average 99.5% rolling 30 days | Tracks typical backend latency for Application Load Balancer target groups by keeping average TargetResponseTime below 1 second in each 1-minute interval. Scoped per target group, load balancer, and region. A rolling 30-day target of 99.5% ensures users experience responsive service even when errors are absent. | ## Screenshots This integration includes one or more Kibana dashboards that visualizes the data collected by the integration. The screenshots below illustrate how the ingested data is displayed. ![Dashboard screenshot](https://epr.elastic.co/package/aws_elb_metrics_otel/0.10.0/img/dashboard.png) ## Changelog | Version | Details | Minimum Kibana version | |------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------| | **0.10.0** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19925))Add ML anomaly detection modules for ALB target health (response time, unhealthy hosts) and request errors (5XX, rejected connections).**Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19925))Add ml_module to the Kibana asset tags. | 9.5.0 | | **0.9.0** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19940))Add tags to Kibana assets | 9.5.0 | | **0.8.1** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19964))Rename the dashboard to "[AWS ELB OTel] Metrics". | 9.5.0 | | **0.8.0** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19884))Remove the idle status and rename "no data" to "Unknown" across ELB dashboard panels. | 9.5.0 | | **0.7.0** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19799))Improve ESQL queries in dashboards | 9.5.0 | | **0.6.0** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19797))Add _dev/build/docs/README.md | 9.5.0 | | **0.5.0** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19683))Improve dashboard queries and visualizations | 9.5.0 | | **0.4.0** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19695))Update aggregation function and remove division by zero in SLO metric filter. | 9.5.0 | | **0.3.0** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19637))Add alert rules and SLOs to README | 9.5.0 | | **0.2.1** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19666))Standardize the package title and description to the `AWS OpenTelemetry Assets` naming convention. | 9.5.0 | | **0.2.0** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19484))move assets to aws_elb_metrics_otel | 9.5.0 | | **0.1.0** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19462))Initial AWS ELB metrics OpenTelemetry dashboard package | 9.5.0 |
