Metrics:
METRICS.KINESIS.DATA.INCOMING_RECORDS

METRICS.KINESIS.DATA.OUTGOING_RECORDS

Why do I see this?

One of your Kinesis data streams has received new records but doesn’t have any workers attached to process them.

What does this mean?

This event is triggered when records are coming into the stream (IncomingRecords), but none are being processed (OutgoingRecords).

Kinesis Data Stream is not being worked on. How do I fix this?

Check if a worker’s attachment to the stream has failed or if one of your workers has crashed and didn’t come back up again.
