Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Operational Excellence > OPS 08. How do you understand the health of your workload? > Define workload metrics

Define workload metrics to measure the achievement of KPIs (for example, abandoned shopping carts, orders placed, cost, price, and allocated workload expense). Define workload metrics to measure the health of the workload (for example, interface response time, error rate, requests made, requests completed, and utilization). Evaluate metrics to determine if the workload is achieving desired outcomes, and to understand the health of the workload.

See Define workload metrics for more information.
