Some of the new key metrics include used memory as percentage of the available cache node memory, cache hit ratio, memory fragmentation ratio, Redis commands latencies and aggregated latencies per data structure. You can use the new metrics to optimize your ElastiCache clusters and tune your applications. For full list of metrics please see the Metrics for Redis documentation.
These additional metrics are enabled by default for existing and new Amazon ElastiCache for Redis clusters for currently supported Redis engine versions (2.6.13 +) and available in all AWS regions. To get started log on to AWS Management Console.
