The AWS SDK for .NET V3 has entered maintenance mode.

We recommend that you migrate to [AWS SDK for .NET V4](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-net/v4/developer-guide/welcome.html). For additional details and information on how to migrate, please refer to our [maintenance mode announcement](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/aws-sdk-for-net-v3-maintenance-mode-announcement/).

# Metrics
<a name="observability-metrics"></a>

The following table lists the telemetry metrics that the SDK emits. [Configure a telemetry provider](observability.md#observability-conf-telemetry-provider) to make the metrics observable.


**What metrics are emitted?**  

| Metric name | Units | Type | Attributes | Description | 
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | 
| client.call.duration | s | Histogram | rpc.service, rpc.method | Overall call duration (including retries and time to send or receive request and response body) | 
| client.uptime | s | Histogram | rpc.service | The amount of time since a client was created | 
| client.call.attempts | \$1attempt\$1 | MonotonicCounter | rpc.service, rpc.method | The number of attempts for an individual operation | 
| client.call.errors | \$1error\$1 | MonotonicCounter | rpc.service, rpc.method, exception.type | The number of errors for an operation | 
| client.call.attempt\$1duration | s | Histogram | rpc.service, rpc.method | The time it takes to connect to the service, send the request, and get back HTTP status code and headers (including time queued waiting to be sent) | 
| client.call.resolve\$1endpoint\$1duration | s | Histogram | rpc.service, rpc.method | The time it takes to resolve an endpoint (endpoint resolver, not DNS) for the request | 
| client.call.serialization\$1duration | s | Histogram | rpc.service, rpc.method | The time it takes to serialize a message body | 
| client.call.deserialization\$1duration | s | Histogram | rpc.service, rpc.method | The time it takes to deserialize a message body | 
| client.call.auth.signing\$1duration | s | Histogram | rpc.service, rpc.method | The time it takes to sign a request | 
| client.call.auth.resolve\$1identity\$1duration | s | Histogram | rpc.service, rpc.method | The time it takes to acquire an identity (such as AWS credentials or a bearer token) from an Identity Provider | 
| client.http.bytes\$1sent | By | MonotonicCounter | server.address | The total number of bytes sent by the HTTP client | 
| client.http.bytes\$1received | By | MonotonicCounter | server.address | The total number of bytes received by the HTTP client | 

Following are the column descriptions:
+ **Metric name**–The name of the emitted metric.
+ **Units**–The unit of measure for the metric. Units are given in the [UCUM](https://unitsofmeasure.org/ucum) case sensitive ("c/s") notation.
+ **Type**–The type of instrument used to capture the metric.
+ **Attributes**–The set of attributes (dimensions) emitted with the metric.
+ **Description**–A description of what the metric is measuring.
