## Implementation workflow


Each implementation follows a two-step process:

1. **Complete Setup Guide (METRICS.md)** — Infrastructure deployment, AWS infrastructure configuration, fleet setup, and Grafana dashboard configuration.

1. **API Implementation Guide (CUSTOM\$1METRICS.md)** — Language-specific SDK usage, metric types, custom metrics creation, and advanced configuration.

### Verification


1. Validate metrics flow by checking your [Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prometheus/latest/userguide/what-is-Amazon-Managed-Service-Prometheus.html) workspace or Amazon CloudWatch console for incoming telemetry data.

1. Check dashboard visibility in [Amazon Managed Grafana](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/grafana/latest/userguide/what-is-Amazon-Managed-Service-Grafana.html) using the pre-built dashboards.

1. Test custom metrics by verifying they appear in your monitoring dashboards.
