Automatic metric discovery
Every namespace and metric in your AWS account is discovered automatically, including any custom metrics you publish yourself.
CloudWatch Metrics
Polytomic connects CloudWatch Metrics to your data warehouse, databases, and other tools for ETL. Sync metrics from every namespace in your AWS account so infrastructure and application performance sits next to the rest of your data, without writing code.
One table per dimension
Each metric's dimension combinations split into their own table, with average, minimum, maximum, sum, and sample count included.
Late revisions caught
Incremental syncs re-read the two most recent periods, so values CloudWatch revises after the fact are not missed.
Example workflows
Track infrastructure cost and utilization next to the rest of your data
What you can sync
CloudWatch Metrics is supported as a source. Read namespace, metric, and dimension data into your data warehouse, databases, or other connected tools.

How it works
Connect with an AWS access key and secret or an IAM role. Polytomic discovers every namespace and metric in your account and splits each one by its dimension values into its own table. Average, minimum, maximum, sum, and sample count are included for every data point.
Each incremental sync re-reads the two most recent periods. CloudWatch sometimes revises a period's values after first reporting them. Re-reading catches that revision on the next sync.
