DynamoDB Table – Monitor Table Latency
Secure Configuration Checks > AWS
This check ensures that latency metrics for Amazon DynamoDB tables are actively monitored. Tracking read and write latency helps identify performance issues early and ensures applications meet expected response times.
Check Details
- Resource: DynamoDB Table
- Check: Monitor DynamoDB table latency
- Risk: Increased latency can degrade application performance and user experience
Remediation via AWS Console
-
Log in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon DynamoDB service.
- In the left navigation pane, click Tables and select the affected DynamoDB table.
- Open the Monitor tab for the selected table.
-
Ensure latency-related metrics such as:
- SuccessfulRequestLatency
- Read latency
- Write latency
- Review latency trends over time to identify spikes or sustained increases in read and write latency.
