Amazon Redshift now adds new Amazon CloudWatch Metrics to improve the user interface

Amazon Redshift cluster health and performance can be monitored with the two new Amazon CloudWatch metrics, Query Duration and Query Throughput. These CloudWatch Metrics will monitor the Redshift cluster performance and offer insights to adjust the workload management settings to enhance the query performance. AWS has also improved the user interface so that the Query Performance data can be viewed on the console. The average number of the queries that are completed per second can be measured by the Query Throughput. The Query duration will measure the average time take to complete the queries. This will help you to determine how the cluster is performing at any time.
