+`ActualCapacity` |  The total number of instances that are available for streaming or are currently streaming. For multi-session fleets, this metric represents instance-level capacity. The relationship between instance-level and session-level capacity is as follows:
+    
+    
+    ActualUserSessionCapacity = ActualCapacity × (Maximum number of user sessions per instance)
+    
+    
+    ActualCapacity = ActualUserSessionCapacity / (Maximum number of user sessions per instance)
+
+| [Fleet] | Average, Minimum, Maximum | Count  
+`DesiredCapacity` |  The total number of instances that are either running or pending. This represents the total number of instances your fleet targets in a steady state. For multi-session fleets, the relationship between instance-level and session-level capacity is as follows:
+    
+    
+    DesiredUserSessionCapacity = DesiredCapacity × (Maximum number of user sessions per instance)
+    
+    
+    DesiredCapacity = DesiredUserSessionCapacity / (Maximum number of user sessions per instance)
+
+| [Fleet] | Average, Minimum, Maximum | Count  
+`InUseCapacity` |  The number of instances currently being used for streaming sessions. For multi-session fleets, an instance is considered in use if it has at least one active user session. The relationship between instance-level and session-level capacity is as follows:
+    
+    
+    ActiveUserSessionCapacity = InUseCapacity × (Maximum number of user sessions per instance)
+    
+    
+    InUseCapacity = ActiveUserSessionCapacity / (Maximum number of user sessions per instance)
+
+| [Fleet] | Average, Minimum, Maximum | Count  
+`PendingCapacity` |  The number of instances being provisioned by WorkSpaces Applications. Represents the additional number of instances the fleet will have after provisioning is complete. When provisioning starts, it usually takes 10-20 minutes for an instance to become available for streaming. For multi-session fleets, the relationship between instance-level and session-level capacity is as follows:
+    
+    
+    PendingUserSessionCapacity = PendingCapacity × (Maximum number of user sessions per instance)
+    
+    
+    PendingCapacity = PendingUserSessionCapacity / (Maximum number of user sessions per instance)
+
+| [Fleet] | Average, Minimum, Maximum | Count  
+`RunningCapacity` |  The total number of instances currently running. Represents the number of instances that can support streaming sessions in the fleet's current state. For multi-session fleets, the relationship between instance-level and session-level capacity is as follows:
+    
+    
+    RunningUserSessionCapacity = RunningCapacity × (Maximum number of user sessions per instance)
+    
+    
+    RunningCapacity = RunningUserSessionCapacity / (Maximum number of user sessions per instance)
+
+This metric is provided for Always-On fleets only, and has the same value as the `ActualCapacity` metric. | [Fleet] | Average, Minimum, Maximum | Count  
+`InsufficientCapacityError` |  The number of session requests rejected due to lack of capacity. This metric applies the same way for both single-session and multi-session fleets. You can set alarms to use this metric to be notified of users waiting for streaming sessions. | [Fleet] | Average, Minimum, Maximum, Sum | Count
