Amazon QuickSight now supports monitoring of SPICE consumption by sending metrics to Amazon CloudWatch. QuickSight developers and administrators can use these metrics to observe and monitor SPICE consumption and proactively monitor if a QuickSight account is reaching its SPICE capacity limit which might result in failed dataset ingestions. This allows them to provide their readers with a consistent and uninterrupted experience on QuickSight. For more information, visit here.
Administrators and developers can also use the CloudWatch console to graph metric data generated by Amazon QuickSight. For more information, see Graphing metrics in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide. They can also create a CloudWatch alarm that monitors CloudWatch metrics for their QuickSight assets. CloudWatch will automatically send a notification when the metric reaches a specified threshold. For examples, see Creating Amazon CloudWatch Alarms in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
The QuickSight SPICE consumption metrics in CloudWatch are only available with Amazon QuickSight Enterprise Edition. This is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio and N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Canada(Central), South America (São Paulo), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland and London), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo), and AWS GovCloud (US-West).
