A FinOps team wants to stream only selected CloudWatch metrics to a data lake. They plan to use one metric stream with both include filters and exclude filters. What is the limitation?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. A metric stream can use include filters or exclude filters, but not both. CloudWatch metric streams support up to 1000 filters, but a single metric stream can have either include filters or exclude filters, not both. This means the team must model the stream with one filtering approach instead of combining both types in the same stream.
