Stream Your AWS Services Metrics to Splunk

[sorangutan]

Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently announced the launch of CloudWatch Metric Streams. Cloudwatch Streams can stream metrics from a number of different AWS resources using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to target destinations. What this means for current Splunk customers is they now have the option of either using the Splunk add-on of AWS to poll metrics or to make use of this new service and let Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose push metrics to a Splunk HEC endpoint, and reduce their latency by anywhere between 5 to 10 minutes.
