AWS recommended stats (API only)

If you connect your AWS services using the UI, Splunk Observability Cloud brings in 5 default stats per service: SampleCount (count in Splunk Observability Cloud), Average (mean), Sum (sum), Minimum (lower), and Maximum (upper).

If you connect your services using the API you can choose to import certain stats only. These stats are based on AWS’ own recommended stats and vary with each service.
