    What to monitor in bedrock and opensearch in aws?

     Monitoring Amazon Bedrock and Amazon OpenSearch Service in AWS is crucial for ensuring performance, availability, and cost-effectiveness. Here's a breakdown of what to monitor in each service:


    🧠 Amazon Bedrock – What to Monitor

    Since Bedrock is a fully managed service for foundation models (FMs), you have limited but critical observability and monitoring options via CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and Service Quotas.

    ✅ Key Metrics (via CloudWatch)

    1. Invocation Metrics

      • Invocations: Total number of requests made to the model.

      • InvocationErrors: Failed invocation counts.

      • ModelLatency: Latency for successful invocations (in milliseconds).

      • ThrottledRequests: Requests rejected due to exceeding throttling limits.

      • ValidationErrors: Bad input/request payloads.

    2. Throughput Metrics

      • TokensIn: Number of input tokens used.

      • TokensOut: Number of output tokens generated.

      • TotalTokens: Sum of TokensIn + TokensOut.

    3. Cost and Quota Monitoring

      • Monitor TokensIn/Out to track usage-based costs.

      • Use Service Quotas to monitor limits on invocation rates or model-specific quotas.

    🔔 Alerts & Best Practices

    • Alert on high latency or invocation errors.

    • Set thresholds for monthly token usage to control costs.

    • Use CloudTrail to audit who is calling which model.


    🔍 Amazon OpenSearch – What to Monitor

    Amazon OpenSearch requires deeper observability because you're managing a cluster. You should monitor cluster health, performance, security, and resource usage.

    ✅ Key Metrics (via CloudWatch / OpenSearch Dashboards)

    1. Cluster Health

    • ClusterStatus: Should be GREEN (YELLOW = replica shards missing; RED = primary shards missing).

    • NumberOfNodes

    • ActivePrimaryShards / ActiveShards

    • UnassignedShards

    2. Search and Indexing Performance

    • SearchLatency: High latency can affect user experience.

    • SearchRate: Requests/sec.

    • IndexingLatency: Time to index documents.

    • IndexingRate: Documents indexed per second.

    3. Node/Instance Metrics

    • JVMMemoryPressure: JVM heap pressure; should ideally be < 75%.

    • CPUUtilization: High values indicate contention.

    • FreeStorageSpace: Monitor EBS disk usage.

    • InstanceHealth: To catch instance-level issues.

    4. Storage & IOPS

    • EBS metrics like BurstBalance, VolumeReadOps, VolumeWriteOps.

    5. Slow Logs

    • Enable and analyze slow search and slow indexing logs.

    6. Security Monitoring

    • Track failed logins or unauthorized access attempts.

    • Audit logs (via Cognito/IAM or custom integration).

    • Monitor fine-grained access control policies (if enabled).


    📈 Tools & Tips

    Tool Use
    CloudWatch Dashboards Custom dashboards for both Bedrock & OpenSearch
    AWS CloudTrail Monitor API usage for auditing
    OpenSearch Dashboards Visualize logs, search metrics
    Service Quotas Set alarms for Bedrock limits
    AWS Cost Explorer Track token usage costs (Bedrock)

    Here are the CloudWatch namespace names for both Amazon Bedrock and Amazon OpenSearch Service:


    🧠 Amazon Bedrock

    • CloudWatch Namespace:

      AWS/Bedrock
      

    Example Metrics in AWS/Bedrock:

    • Invocations

    • InvocationErrors

    • ModelLatency

    • TokensIn

    • TokensOut


    🔍 Amazon OpenSearch Service

    • CloudWatch Namespace:

      AWS/ES
      

    (Note: AWS retained ES from the older "Elasticsearch Service" name.)

    Example Metrics in AWS/ES:

    • ClusterStatus.green

    • ClusterStatus.red

    • JVMMemoryPressure

    • CPUUtilization

    • FreeStorageSpace

    • SearchLatency

    • IndexingRate
