AWS OpsWorks Stacks helps manage applications and servers on AWS and on-premises. Every Opsworks stack includes one or more layers, each of which represents a stack component, such as a load balancer or a set of application servers.
When working with AWS OpsWorks Stacks layers, keep the following in mind:
- Each layer in a stack must have at least one instance and can optionally have multiple instances.
- Each instance in a stack must be a member of at least one layer, except for registered instances.
- Instances cannot be configured directly, except for some basic settings such as the SSH key and hostname. You must create and configure an appropriate layer, and add the instance to the layer.

Supported metrics
| OpsRamp Metric | Metric Display Name | Unit | Aggregation Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| aws_opsworks_cpu_idle Percentage of time that the CPU is idle. | CPU Idle | None | Average |
| aws_opsworks_cpu_nice Percentage of time that the CPU is handling processes with a positive nice value, which have a lower scheduling priority. | CPU Nice | None | Average |
| aws_opsworks_cpu_steal As AWS allocates hypervisor CPU resources among increasing numbers of instances, virtualization load rises which can affect how often the hypervisor does the requested work on an instance. cpu_steal measures percentage of time that an instance is waiting for the hypervisor to allocate physical CPU resources. | CPU Steal | None | Average |
| aws_opsworks_cpu_system Percentage of time that the CPU is handling system operations. | CPU System | None | Average |
| aws_opsworks_cpu_user Percentage of time that the CPU is handling user operations. | CPU User | None | Average |
| aws_opsworks_cpu_waitio Percentage of time that the CPU is waiting for input/output operations. | CPU Wait IO | None | Average |
| aws_opsworks_memory_buffers Amount of buffered memory. | Memory Buffers | None | Average |
| aws_opsworks_memory_cached Amount of cached memory. | Memory Cached | None | Average |
| aws_opsworks_memory_free Amount of free memory. | Memory Free | None | Average |
| aws_opsworks_memory_swap Amount of swap space. | Memory Swap | None | Average |
| aws_opsworks_memory_total Total amount of memory. | Memory Total | None | Sum |
| aws_opsworks_memory_used Amount of memory in use. | Memory Used | None | Average |
| aws_opsworks_load_1 Load averaged over a one-minute window. | Load Over 1min | None | Average |
| aws_opsworks_load_5 Load averaged over a five-minute window. | Load Over 5min | None | Average |
| aws_opsworks_load_15 Load averaged over a 15-minute window. | Load Over 15min | None | Average |
