What steps should the Administrator take to complete this task?
Select the AWS Namespace, filter by metric name, then add to the dashboard.
Add a text widget, select the appropriate metric from the custom namespace, then add to the dashboard.
Select the appropriate widget and metrics from the custom namespace, then add to the dashboard.
Open the CloudWatch console, from the CloudWatch Events, add all custom metrics.
Explanations:
While selecting the AWS Namespace and filtering by metric name is a step in viewing metrics, it does not directly lead to adding metrics to a dashboard. A more comprehensive process is required to complete the dashboard setup.
Adding a text widget and selecting a metric from the custom namespace does not contribute to displaying the actual metrics data visually on the dashboard. The text widget is not designed for metric visualization.
This option correctly outlines the process: selecting the appropriate widget (like a line or bar graph) and then choosing metrics from the custom namespace to display them visually on the dashboard, which is the primary purpose of a CloudWatch dashboard.
CloudWatch Events is not the right section to add custom metrics to a dashboard. Metrics need to be added from the CloudWatch metrics section, not from events, which are for tracking state changes and triggering actions.
I sort that the answer is:
Select the appropriate widget and metrics from the custom namespace, then add to the dashboard.
