AWS Elemental MediaConnect adds new Amazon CloudWatch metrics

Starting today, [AWS Elemental MediaConnect](https://aws.amazon.com/mediaconnect/) has additional metrics for improved visibility into your video streams and upfront error detection. The new metrics indicate consecutive packet drops, consecutive packets not recovered, jitter, latency, and up time. You can easily monitor your live video stream source metrics in the AWS Management Console, via [Amazon CloudWatch](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/), or via the API.
