Understanding File Share Metrics
You can find information following about the Storage Gateway metrics that cover file shares. Each file
share has a set of metrics associated with it. Some file share-specific metrics have the same name as
certain gateway-specific metrics. These metrics represent the same kinds of measurements but are
scoped to the file share instead. Always specify whether you want to work with either a gateway or a file
share metric before working with a metric. Specifically, when working with file share metrics, you must
specify the
File share ID
that identifies the file share for which you are interested in viewing metrics.
For more information, see
Using Amazon CloudWatch Metrics (p. 205)
The following table describes the Storage Gateway metrics that you can use to get information about
your file shares.
