AWS Integration - SES

Mackerel supports obtaining and monitoring Amazon Simple Email Service metrics in AWS Integration. When integrating with AWS Integration, billable targets are determined using the conversion 1 Region = 1 Micro Host. In addition to this, depending on the number of metrics retrieved, you may be charged for exceeding the maximum number of metrics per micro host.

Please refer to the following page for AWS Integration configuration methods and a list of supported AWS services.

Notes

- Tag filtering for hosts is not available with AWS Integration SES support. - Assigning roles by tags is not available with AWS Integration SES support. - The Email Sending Events "Open" and "Click" occur when using [Configuration Sets](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/us_en/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/using-configuration-sets.html) and Open/Click events have been captured. Refer to the [AWS Help page](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/us_en/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/configure-custom-open-click-domains.html) for more details. - "Delivery Delay" uses [Configuration Sets](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/using-configuration-sets.html) and event destinations must be set to the `DELIVERY_DELAY` event type. See the [AWS documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/monitor-using-event-publishing.html) for more details. - The values of `DIMENSION_NAME` and` DIMENSION_VALUE` under "Metric name in Mackerel" are processed in the following cases.
Also, If the processed metric name matches another metric name, the retrieved metric may be incorrect. - If the CloudWatch event destination has multiple dimensions, the string connected with "_" (underscore) will be applied. - If the string length exceeds 100 characters, the excess will be truncated. - Any "." (Dot) or "@" (at sign) included in `DIMENSION_VALUE` is replaced with an "_" (underscore).
