A user is sending a custom metric to CloudWatch. If the call to the CloudWatch APIs has different dimensions, but the same metric name, how will CloudWatch treat all the requests?
A.
It will treat each unique combination of dimensions as a separate metric.
B.
It will group all the calls into a single call.
C.
It will overwrite the previous dimension data with the new dimension data.
D.
It will reject the request as there cannot be a separate dimension for a single metric.
Suggested Answer:A🗳️
A dimension is a key-value pair used to uniquely identify a metric. CloudWatch treats each unique combination of dimensions as a separate metric. Thus, if the user is making 4 calls with the same metric name but a separate dimension, it will create 4 separate metrics.

When sending a custom metric to CloudWatch, if the calls to the CloudWatch APIs have different dimensions but the same metric name, CloudWatch treats each unique combination of dimensions as a separate metric. This means that even if the metric name is the same, the different dimensions provided will create distinct metrics within CloudWatch.
Dimensions are used to further categorize and filter metrics in CloudWatch. By including different dimensions, you can create multiple instances of the same metric with varying characteristics or attributes.
CloudWatch considers the combination of the metric name and dimensions to uniquely identify a metric. Therefore, if you send multiple requests with the same metric name but different dimensions, CloudWatch will treat them as separate metrics.
