aws cloudwatch metrics - AVG over a range

Question

I want to make an average graph of the CDCLatencySource and CDCLatencyTarget of few ARNs.

CDCLatencySource are m1,m2,m3,m4

CDCLatencyTarget are m5,m6,m7,m8

So I made another row - AVG([m1,m4]) for the Source and same for the target. But it looks like it average only the m1 & m4 and not the whole range.

What am I missing?

Answer 1

You will need to include all metrics, so for your CDCLatencySource it would be AVG([m1,m2,m3,m4]).

Similarly for CDCLatencyTarget the value would be AVG([m5,m6,m7,m8])

The functions do not accept ranges, instead they accept each metric id individually in the list that is passed into the function.
