Monitoring Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser with Amazon CloudWatch
You can monitor Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser using CloudWatch, which collects raw data and processes it into readable, near real-time metrics. These statistics are kept for 15 months, so that you can access historical information and gain a better perspective on how your web application or service is performing. You can also set alarms that watch for certain thresholds, and send notifications or take actions when those thresholds are met. For more information, see the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.

| Dimension | Description |
|---|---|
| PortalId | Filters the metric data for Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser for a specified portal. |
| UserName | Filters the metric data for Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser for a specified portal and user. |
You can use the SessionLoggerEventDelivered metric to monitor the aggregate number of events from your portal, or see the number of log files that were delivered by counting the number of data points rather than summing values. We recommend configuring alarms on the SessionLoggerTargetNotFoundError and SessionLoggerAccessDeniedError metrics to detect accidental resource or permissions deletion.
