Open shadowreader.yml and set metrics to cloudwatch under plugins

plugins:
  metrics: cloudwatch

Now push your changes

serverless deploy --stage $your_stage --region $your_region

After a couple of minutes open up CloudWatch. A shadowreader namespace should display under Custom Namespaces in the Metrics section.

Available metrics

• parsed_timestamp timestamp of the traffic logs that are being parsed.
• replayed_timestamp timestamp of the traffic logs that are being replayed.
• num_requests total number of requests being sent by the load test.

Metrics are sent every minute.
