By now we are familiar with the items tab on the dynamo D-B console.
Let's have a quick look at some of the other tabs to find out what they do.
First the overview tab.
There are three sections here.
Recent alcoves will show you if there are any letters.
When we create our table dynamically we create some cloud watch alarms by default.
So if any of these alarms get triggered let's say for example our requests are getting throttled due
to under-privileged and capacity.
You see a notification message here stream details applies to Dynamo IDB streams and we'll discuss the
topic of streams a little later in this course.
The table details as the name suggests lists all the meta data about our table the name primary key
attribute capacity size and so on size data is not real time value but it's a day that a couple of times
a day typically about every six hours.
Let's go to the metrics tab.
This will give us the runtime statistics about our tables performance.
We'll be able to see the runtime graphs like the read write capacity consumption over time a number
of throttled requests and so on the grass every element for the table index as well as the global secondary
nexus we also have these stats for let him see which is actual response times then we house dads for
streams t tills can and query operations performed as well as count of errors if there are any.
You can click on any of these graphs to see a detail view.
Or you could use the cloud watcher link at the top of which will take us to the cloud watch console
where we can study these statistics in more detail.
Set this tab will give us and holistic view of how our table is performing so we can assess if any adjustments
are needed.
Then we have the alarm Stabb And as I just discussed there are some predefined alarms and we can manage
these alarms here.
We can add remove or modify any of the alarms as needed.
And if you click on any of these hyperlinks it will allow us to edit these alarms.
You can also use this screen to set up e-mail notification if you like
then we have the capacity tab.
First section is recess killing act activities any capacity changes initiated through the auto scaling
function will be logged.
Here we'll go cover the topic of auto scaling later in this course.
Then we have two more sections here provisioned our capacity and auto scaling which simply allows us
to control the capacity.
And these are the same settings that we saw when we created the table the next tab is in Texas.
This simply lists all the secondary indexes on our table local as well as global secondary Nexxus where
we can create more global submarine access up to a limit of 5 per day.
Of course we can also delete any of the existing global secondary indexes if we need to.
As we already know local secondary indexes however cannot be created now and we cannot delete any locals
that are in the Nexus either.
Only way to change or remote local secondary nexus is to create a new table.
Then we have a path for global tables.
This allows us to create multi-region tables and we'll dive deeper into this.
In another lecture later in the score's the backup Stabb as the name suggests allows us to manage backups.
We can create backups restore from existing backups and also delete any existing backups and we'll learn
the specifics of backup and restore operations in one of the lectures I had in this course.
Then we have triggers here we can define Landauer functions to execute based on some events like changes
to our table.
For example when new items are added we could trigger a function to do something we can use them in
conjunction with Dynamo these dreams as we'll see later when we discussed the topic of the animality
streams.
Then we have access control tab.
This allows us to control access to the table.
And this is also one of the advanced topics that will cover a little later in this course.
Finally we have tags.
Tags are used to organize our tables.
Our task is simply a key value pair and typically this is used to categorize resources.
We can break down our AWOS bills by these tags.
It's one of the ways to analyze our AWOS bills.
That brings us to the end of this section in the next section we learn another way of working with phantom
ALIMI And if you're a savvy developer who prefers the term we know our command prompt over the graphical
interface.
The next section is for you.
We're learning how to use the NABC lighting to work with Dynamo D-B How ever if you like using the graphical
interface instead then you can continue using this Web console that we just discussed.
Either way I'd suggest that you watch the next section so you have a better idea of different possibilities.
Thank you for joining me here.
Let's meet in the next section.
