Hello:

Does both the below mentioned DynamoDB Metrics provide the same results?

builtin:cloud.aws.dynamo.capacityUnits.read AND ext:cloud.aws.dynamodb.consumedReadCapacityUnitsSum

Hi!

Nope, builtin:cloud.aws.dynamo.capacityUnits.read and ext:cloud.aws.dynamodb.consumedReadCapacityUnitsSum do not provide the same results:

builtin:cloud.aws.dynamo.capacityUnits.read: This metric represents the provisioned read capacity units for DynamoDB.
ext:cloud.aws.dynamodb.consumedReadCapacityUnitsSum: This metric represents the sum of consumed read capacity units for DynamoDB.

The former is about the capacity allocated, while the latter is about the capacity actually used.

To convert the old built-in metric in the new cloud metric:
you need to use ext:cloud.aws.dynamodb.consumedReadCapacityUnitsSum and ext:cloud.aws.dynamodb.provisionedReadCapacityUnitsSum

100 * ext:cloud.aws.dynamodb.consumedReadCapacityUnitsSum / ext:cloud.aws.dynamodb.provisionedReadCapacityUnitsSum
