# DRHCPERF01-BP02 Monitor hybrid edge-specific metrics, and update resource configurations
<a name="drhcperf01-bp02"></a>

 Monitor your current capacity and plan for scaling to meet demand. 

 **Desired outcome:** You are aware of what capacity you have, and you scale as needed. 

 **Benefits of establishing this best practice:** You can proactively make decisions to acquire the appropriate capacity for your workloads. 

 **Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established:** Medium 

## Implementation guidance

 Outposts surfaces Amazon CloudWatch metric data, including CPU, network, and storage. You should monitor these metrics as you would in-Region to verify that you are achieving your performance targets. Monitor your resource consumption, and right-size compute and storage configurations based on the metric data. This is an iterative process as workloads change over time. Each server has a specific slotting configuration based on initial order. This can be modified based on metric data as long as the configuration is supported by the underlying server. For supported configurations, see [Modify AWS Outposts instance capacity](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/outposts/latest/userguide/modify-instance-capacity.html).
