| === What is the potential impact? | ||
|
|
||
| Using AWS service namespaces can lead to metric publishing failures, data corruption, or unexpected behavior in CloudWatch dashboards. It may also cause confusion between your custom metrics and official AWS service metrics, making monitoring and troubleshooting more difficult. Additionally, AWS may reject such metric publications or they may interfere with existing service metrics. |
