Overview
How the exporter fits into the ecosystem to provide the translated metrics.
Documentation
The product is still in its early stages. Breaking changes can still happen within minor releases until the first major release is done.
The Rusty AWS CloudWatch Exporter is aimed at intersection of companies that use AWS infrastructure - particularly AWS proprietary tooling - and use Prometheus based metrics. AWS only publishes metrics through its AWS CloudWatch product which has its own idiosyncrasies and does not provide proper interoperability with Prometheus.
This product aims to provide a meaningful translation of metrics from AWS CloudWatch that can then be ingested into a Prometheus-based solution.
