How can I grant permission to a user to view Elasticache Metrics in Elasticache console?

Question

I have tried by adding an inline policy in Identity center as follows;
                        "Effect": "Allow",
			"Action":"cloudwatch:*"
			"Resource": [
				"arn:aws:elasticache:ap-south-1:*******:********:cache-name"
			]
But still when I check in elasticache console it says "you can't view the metrics, no cloudwatch:getmetricdata permission"
Evene I tried by just giving Action: cloudwatch:GetMetricData but no luck
 How can I fix this?

Answer

If the action in the inline policy was literally: `"cloudwatch:"` then that won't work. You are missing an action or asterisk (`*`) after the colon. I was able to recreate this by not having anything after the colon.

Either use: `"cloudwatch:GetMetricData"` or `"cloudwatch:*"` to resolve this.

If you did try `"cloudwatch:GetMetricData"` and it didn't work still ensure that the resource ARN is correct and that you are using an `Allow` effect in the policy.
