AWS Elemental MediaConnect adds new Amazon CloudWatch metrics

Starting today, AWS Elemental MediaConnect offers additional output metrics for SRT and MediaLive outputs to improve video stream monitoring. The new metrics are total packets sent, Forward Error Correction (FEC) packets, Automatic Repeat Requests (ARQ), number of resent packets, number of packets not recovered, round trip time, and bitrate for each output from a MediaConnect flow. The new metrics are used to monitor each output on the flow and provide deeper visibility into performance of downstream workloads. To learn more about output metrics, visit the AWS Elemental MediaConnect [documentation page](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconnect/latest/ug/monitor-with-cloudwatch-metrics-output-health.html). AWS Elemental MediaConnect is a reliable, secure, and flexible transport service for live video that enables broadcasters and content owners to build live video workflows and securely share live content with partners and customers. MediaConnect helps customers transport high-value live video streams into, through, and out of the AWS Cloud. MediaConnect can function as a standalone service or as part of a larger video workflow with other [AWS Elemental Media Services](https://aws.amazon.com/media-services/), a family of services that form the foundation of cloud-based workflows to transport, transcode, package, and deliver video.
