AWS IoT Device Defender now supports export of Detect metrics to other services

Today, [AWS IoT Device Defender](https://aws.amazon.com/iot-device-defender/) announces the capability to export cloud-side and device-side metrics to your own data lake running on AWS or outside. AWS IoT Device Defender continuously monitors device fleets to detect any abnormal device behavior, alerts about security issues, and provides built-in mitigation actions. Using Detect feature, you can evaluate device and cloud-side metrics against a pre-defined threshold and receive alerts when deviations are detected. With the new export capability, you can easily transfer Detect metrics including number of messages received, network signal strength, CPU and memory usage, to other AWS and third-party services for further analytics. Fleet operators often need to analyze an IoT solution’s usage and performance metrics to help streamline their operations. Using the new metric export feature in conjunction with [AWS IoT Core Rules Engine](https://aws.amazon.com/iot-core/features/), you can enhance your solution to cost-effectively extract and transfer cloud-side, device-side, and custom metrics into other services to gain additional insights. The implementation of metrics export functionality simply requires cloud-side configuration changes and does not require firmware changes on edge devices. The metric export feature can be configured and accessed in AWS IoT console and AWS CLI. The feature is available in all [AWS Regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) where AWS IoT Device Defender is available.
