Today we are announcing the availability of two new HAQM CloudWatch metrics for HAQM Interactive Video Service (HAQM IVS). You can use these metrics to monitor the performance of your live streams. The new ConcurrentStreams metric provides a count of your channels which are streaming live and the new ConcurrentViews metric provides the number of simultaneous views across all your live channels and for any individual channel.
These new metrics are available along with other CloudWatch metrics for HAQM IVS on the AWS Management Console and AWS CLI. To learn how to setup a Cloudwatch Dashboard that uses CloudWatch metrics and HAQM EventBridge Events to monitor the performance of your live streams visit AWS Media Blog.

HAQM Interactive Video Service (HAQM IVS) is a managed live streaming solution that is quick and easy to set up, and ideal for creating interactive video experiences. Send your live streams to HAQM IVS using standard streaming software like Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) and the service does everything you need to make low-latency live video available to any viewer around the world, letting you focus on building interactive experiences alongside the live video.
The HAQM IVS console and APIs for control and creation of video streams are available in the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Ireland) regions. Video ingest and delivery are available around the world over a managed network of infrastructure optimized for live video.
