AWS omics: Add HealthOmics run metrics to monitoring overview

Service: omics · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: omics/latest/dev/monitoring-overview.md

Summary

Adds a bullet describing new HealthOmics run metrics (CPU, GPU, memory, file system utilization) published to CloudWatch as OpenTelemetry metrics queried with PromQL, plus a link in the monitoring list.

Security assessment

The change is purely operational observability documentation about resource utilization metrics (CPU/GPU/memory) and PromQL queries; it neither describes a vulnerability fix nor a security-specific feature, though CloudWatch metrics indirectly support monitoring.

Evidence

  * _Run metrics_ report near real-time resource utilization for your runs and tasks, including CPU, GPU, memory, and file system usage. AWS HealthOmics vends these metrics to CloudWatch as OpenTelemetry metrics, and you query them with PromQL. For more information, see [Run metrics for Private Workflows](./monitoring-run-metrics.html).
