Recommended alarms
With CloudWatch, you can create alarms that watch metrics and send you a notification or perform another action when a threshold is breached. For more information on configuring CloudWatch alarms, see the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
We recommend that you set alarms for the following Deadline Cloud metrics:
- LicensesInUse
-
Dimensions: FleetId, LicenseEndpointId
Alarm description: This alarm detects when the active license sessions for a service-managed fleet or license endpoint are approaching your account quota. If this occurs, you can raise the account quota for license sessions. See your current quotas and request increases using Service Quotas. To learn more, see the Service Quotas User Guide.
Intent: Prevent license checkout failures by monitoring usage before it reaches the quota limit.
Statistic: Maximum
Recommended threshold: 90% of your license session quota
Threshold justification: Set the threshold to a percentage of your quota, so that you can take action before it reaches the limit.
Period: 1 minute
