Monitor Load Balancer Capacity Unit reservation for your Application Load Balancer - Elastic Load Balancing

Monitor Load Balancer Capacity Unit reservation for your Application Load Balancer

Reservation status

The following are the possible status values for an LCU reservation:

  • pending ‐ Indicates the reservation it is in the process of provisioning.

  • provisioned ‐ Indicates the reserved capacity is ready and available to use.

  • failed ‐ Indicates the request cannot be completed at the time.

  • rebalancing ‐ Indicates an availability zone has been added or removed and the load balancer is rebalancing capacity.

LCU utilization

The ReservedLCUs metric is reported on a per-minute basis. Capacity is reserved on an hourly basis. For example, if you have a LCU reservation of 6,000, the one-hour total for ReservedLCUs is 6,000, and the one-minute total is 100. To determine your reserved LCU utilization, refer to the PeakLCUs metric. You can set CloudWatch alarms to compare the per-minute Sum of PeakLCUs against your reserved capacity value, or the per-hour Sum of ReservedLCUs, to determine whether you have reserved enough capacity to meet your needs.
