This package contains Kibana assets for monitoring Lambda functions 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.lambda.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 Lambda OTel] Metrics | AWS Lambda 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 Lambda OTel] Dead letter errors | Alerts when Lambda fails to write events to the configured dead-letter queue, meaning failed events may be lost. | | [AWS Lambda OTel] Destination delivery failures | Alerts when Lambda fails to deliver events to configured on-success or on-failure destinations. | | [AWS Lambda OTel] High async event age | Alerts when async-invoked Lambda functions show high AsyncEventAge, indicating events are aging in the internal queue. | | [AWS Lambda OTel] High concurrent executions | Alerts when peak concurrent executions approach capacity limits, predicting imminent throttling. | | [AWS Lambda OTel] High average duration | Alerts when average Lambda invocation duration exceeds a configurable threshold over a 15-minute window. | | [AWS Lambda OTel] High tail duration | Alerts when peak (Maximum) Lambda invocation duration exceeds a configurable threshold, indicating slow handler execution or downstream latency. | | [AWS Lambda OTel] High error rate | Alerts when a Lambda function exceeds a configurable error rate (Errors / Invocations) over a 15-minute window. Evaluates the top 10 functions by error rate. | | [AWS Lambda OTel] High iterator age | Alerts when stream-based Lambda consumers show high IteratorAge, indicating the function is falling behind the record arrival rate. | | [AWS Lambda OTel] High throttle rate | Alerts when a Lambda function exceeds a configurable throttle rate (Throttles / (Invocations + Throttles)) over a 15-minute window. | ## 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 Lambda OTel] Average duration 99.5% rolling 30 days | Tracks per-function execution latency from CloudWatch Duration (Average statistic). Each 1-minute window is good when average duration stays below 3000 ms; 99.5% of windows must be good over a rolling 30-day period. Sustained duration regressions degrade user-facing response times and increase Lambda billing. | | [AWS Lambda OTel] Invocation success rate 99.5% rolling 30 days | Tracks per-function invocation reliability from CloudWatch Errors and Invocations (Sum statistics). Each 1-minute window is good when the error rate is below 0.5%; 99.5% of windows must be good over a rolling 30-day period. Rising error rates indicate function code failures that directly break synchronous and asynchronous workloads. | ## 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_lambda_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/19923))Add ML anomaly detection modules for Lambda function performance (duration, concurrency) and errors/throttles.**Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19923))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 Lambda OTel] Metrics". | 9.5.0 | | **0.8.0** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19884))Remove the idle card and merge idle into "Unknown" across Lambda 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/19456))Create new SLO and Alert assets | 9.5.0 | | **0.1.0** | **Enhancement** ([View pull request](https://github.com/elastic/integrations/pull/19462))Initial AWS Lambda OpenTelemetry metrics dashboard package | 9.5.0 |
