Monitor MediaTailor channel assembly CDN operations
AWS Elemental MediaTailor channel assembly requires effective monitoring when integrated with a content delivery network (CDN) to ensure reliable content delivery. Implement monitoring strategies for your channel assembly and CDN integration to help ensure reliable content delivery and quick problem resolution.
For comprehensive CDN monitoring guidance including essential metrics, monitoring tools setup, alert configuration, and troubleshooting strategies that apply to all MediaTailor implementations, see CDN monitoring. This section focuses on channel assembly-specific monitoring requirements.
Implement specific monitoring for your channel assembly and CDN integration:
-
Track manifest generation metrics in channel assembly.
-
Monitor time-shifted viewing requests and their impact on CDN cache hit rates.
-
Configure alerts for unusual patterns in manifest requests.
-
Implement tracking for segment availability across your content sources.
For Amazon CloudFront, create a dashboard that integrates CDN metrics with MediaTailor metrics to visualize your entire delivery pipeline using CloudWatch dashboards.
If you're also using SSAI with your channel assembly, see Monitor CDN operations for additional monitoring recommendations specific to ad insertion.
