About this task
Note: You can configure the memory threshold for AWS and Azure only.
AWS doesn’t automatically collect memory metric statistics. On the AWS Management Console, you specify the statistics to collect and push the data to Amazon CloudWatch. Cloud Cost Management accesses the data through CloudWatch, and verifies that the combination of namespace and metric name is defined correctly. To recommend resources for Rightsizing, Cloud Cost Management analyzes the memory usage data for the custom metric. If no data is returned, the analysis uses the maximum memory of the resource.
