AWS DMS - check volume of transfered data within time range

Question

Is there a quick way to check how many data (volume wise, GBs, TBs etc) did my specific DMS task transfered for example within last month?

I can't find any note in the documentation on that, I could probably try with boto3 but want to double check first. Thanks for help!

Answer 1

Even with Boto3, you can check the API - DescribeReplicationTasks but likely, there is no information about your data transfer.

Reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeReplicationTasks.html

If you have only 1 data replication task that is associated with only 1 replication instance, you can check that replication instance's network metric via CloudWatch metric. From CloudWatch metrics, AWS DMS namespace, there will be several network metrics such as NetworkTransitThroughput or NetworkReceiveThroughput. You can choose one and try as below:

• Statistic: Sum
• Period: 30 days (or up to you)

And you have a 30DAYS_THROUGHPUT.
