ElastiCache for Valkey self-designed (node-based) clusters now support server-side write request latency and read request latency metrics. With this launch, you can now measure the server-side response time for Valkey commands and troubleshoot latency spikes in your ElastiCache for Valkey cluster.  

Monitoring response time is critical to improving end user experience by tracking application trends and adjusting cluster configurations, as needed. The server-side latency metrics provides a complete picture of the server-side response time that includes command pre-processing, command execution, and command post-processing. SuccessfulWriteRequestLatency and SuccessfulReadRequestLatency measure the time that the Valkey engine takes to respond to a successfully executed request.

The newly introduced ElastiCache for Valkey server-side latency metrics are now available in all Amazon Web Services regions, including Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) region, operated by NWCD. To get started, create a new cluster using the Amazon Web Services Management Console, CLI, or SDKs using Valkey version 7.2. To learn more, refer to our documentation on monitoring ElastiCache for Valkey using CloudWatch.
