Get Total Number of AppSync requests generated for certain period of time | AWS | APPSYNC

Question

Is there a way to get the Total number of (appsync) api requests made to application for a certain time period?

I'm testing a module of application and it is generating requests. I want to calculate the total number of requests generated for all the time my module ran.

In appsync monitoring, I can see the graph. The way I understand it (i'm trying to learn, correct me if wrong) it is showing the total number of requests system has got at each unit time.

So, if it has a peak at certain unit of time, the next unit of time total requests (till now) are = PEAK requests + requests at CURRENT Unit of time.

So, for the graph below, total number of requests must be way more than 34k. right?

Now my question is: Can I calculate the total number of requests made to the system for this period of time? thanks

Answer 1

The chart is currently set to show requests from the week, grouped in 5 minute buckets. The total for a given period is the sum of the dots.

You can, of course, change the 5 minutes dropdown to show fewer, bigger time buckets.

If that is not precise enough, you could enable request logging (Settings > Logging in the console) and use CloudWatch log insights to aggregate the individual log data.
