Elastic Block Store (EBS) metrics
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) provides persistent block storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances in the AWS Cloud. Ensure your cloud platform is configured in SolarWinds Observability SaaS to collect this service's data. See Add an AWS cloud account. CloudWatch metrics must also be enabled for this service in the AWS Console for the metric data to be available.
Many of the collected metrics from AWS EBS entities are displayed as widgets in SolarWinds Observability explorers; additional metrics may be collected and available in the Metrics Explorer. You can also create an alert for when an entity's metric value moves out of a specific range. See Entities in SolarWinds Observability SaaS for information about entity types in SolarWinds Observability SaaS.
The following table lists AWS.EBS in the search box.

Health state. The health state provides real-time insight into the overall health and performance of your monitored entities. The health state is determined based on anomalies detected for the entity, alerts triggered for the entity's metrics, and the status of the entity. The health state is displayed as one of the following four states and colors: Good, Moderate, Bad, or Unknown. You can determine the impact of the alerts, anomalies, and statuses on the health of an entity type by going to Settings > Health, and selecting a specific entity type. You can also customize the impact. To view the health of AWS EBS entities in the Metrics Explorer, filter the |
AWS.EBS.AverageReadLatency
|
milliseconds (ms) |
AverageReadLatency. The average time required to complete a read request during the specified time period. |
AWS.EBS.AverageWriteLatency
|
milliseconds (ms) |
AverageWriteLatency. The average time required to complete a write request during the specified time period. |
AWS.EBS.BurstBalance
|
Percent (%) |
Used with General Purpose SSD (gp2), Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) and Cold HDD (sc1) volumes only. Provides information about the percentage of I/O credits (for gp2) or throughput credits (for st1 and sc1) remaining in the burst bucket. |
AWS.EBS.FastSnapshotRestoreCreditsBalance
|
Count | The number of credits available for fast snapshot restore operations. These credits are used to accelerate the snapshot restoration process, and having a balance of credits ensures that you can perform fast snapshot restores when needed. |
AWS.EBS.FastSnapshotRestoreCreditsBucketSize
|
Count | The maximum number of credits that can be stored in the credit bucket for fast snapshot restore operations. It helps you understand the total capacity of credits you can accumulate for performing these accelerated restores. |
AWS.EBS.VolumeConsumedReadWriteOps
|
Count |
VolumeConsumedReadWriteOps. The total amount of read and write operations (normalized to 256K capacity units) consumed during the specified time period. |
AWS.EBS.VolumeIdleTime
|
seconds (s) |
The total number of seconds in a specified period of time when no read or write operations were submitted. |
AWS.EBS.VolumeQueueLength
|
Count |
VolumeQueueLength. The number of read and write operation requests waiting to be completed during the specified time period. |
AWS.EBS.VolumeReadBytes
|
Binary Bytes |
VolumeReadBytes. The total number of bytes transferred by read operations during the specified time period. |
AWS.EBS.VolumeReadOps
|
Count |
VolumeReadOps. The total number of read operations during the specified time period. Read operations are counted on completion. |
AWS.EBS.VolumeStalledIOCheck
|
Count | The number of stalled I/O operations on an EBS volume. It helps identify potential performance issues or bottlenecks related to I/O operations. |
AWS.EBS.VolumeThroughputPercentage
|
Percent (%) |
VolumeThroughputPercentage. The percentage of I/O operations per second (IOPS) delivered of the total IOPS provisioned for an Amazon EBS volume. |
AWS.EBS.VolumeTotalOps
|
Count |
The total number of I/O operations performed on an EBS volume. It includes both read and write operations and provides an overall view of the volume's activity. |
AWS.EBS.VolumeTotalReadTime
|
seconds (s) |
The total number of seconds spent by input operations that completed in a specified period of time. |
AWS.EBS.VolumeTotalWriteTime
|
seconds (s) |
The total number of seconds spent by output operations that completed in a specified period of time. |
AWS.EBS.VolumeWriteBytes
|
Binary Bytes |
VolumeWriteBytes. The total number of bytes transferred by write operations during the specified time period. |
AWS.EBS.VolumeWriteOps
|
Count |
VolumeWriteOps. The total number of write operations during the specified time period. Write operations are counted on completion. |
