In addition to ingesting integration metrics from AWS, Datadog generates enhanced metrics for AWS Step Functions, similar to enhanced metrics for AWS Lambda. Enhanced Step Functions metrics are distinguished by being in the aws.states.enhanced.* namespace. To add enhanced metrics, follow the AWS Step Function monitoring installation instructions and ensure that DD_ENHANCED_METRICS is set to true.

The following enhanced Step Functions metrics are available.

aws.states.enhanced.execution.started

Counts the total number of executions that have started.

aws.states.enhanced.execution.succeeded

Counts the total number of executions that have succeeded.

aws.states.enhanced.execution.failed

Counts the total number of executions that failed.

aws.states.enhanced.execution.execution_time

Distribution of the duration of individual executions.

aws.states.enhanced.task.execution.tasks_started

Counts the total number of tasks that have started.

aws.states.enhanced.task.execution.tasks_succeeded

Counts the total number of tasks that have succeeded.

aws.states.enhanced.task.execution.tasks_failed

aws.states.enhanced.state.run_duration

Gauge for durations of a state’s runs.

aws.states.enhanced.state.duration
