CloudWatch now receives metrics tracking job state transitions—such as submitted, running, succeeded, or failed—and durations between states like submission to runnable and total execution time. These metrics help users assess queue health, failure rates, and processing times.

The metrics are accessible via the AWS Batch console, CloudWatch console, CLI, and SDKs, and are published in all AWS Regions supporting Batch. This integration enables proactive management of batch jobs through visual dashboards and alerts.
