cloudwatch-mon-scripts-python
=============================
[](https://badge.fury.io/py/cloudwatchmon)
Linux monitoring scripts for the [AWS CloudWatch Service](https://aws.amazon.com/de/cloudwatch/).
Initially, this project was created, because the
original [AWS monitoring scripts](https://aws.amazon.com/code/8720044071969977)
lacked support for the eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) region for about 4 months
(2014-10-23 to 2015-02-25).
Now, this project has a couple of additional features (compared to v1.1.0 of
the original AWS monitoring scripts):
- Memory monitoring incl. buffers
- Load monitoring (overall and per CPU core)
- Monitoring of disk inode usage
- Process monitoring
- Fewer dependencies
- Simpler installation
Requirements
------------
- Python 2 (>= 2.6) or Python 3 (>= 3.3)
- Boto >= 2.33.0
Installation
------------
Optionally create a virtual environment and activate it. Then just run
`pip install cloudwatchmon`. Install the scripts in `/usr/local/bin` folder.
For script usage, run:
mon-put-instance-stats.py --help
Examples
--------
To perform a simple test run without posting data to Amazon CloudWatch:
mon-put-instance-stats.py --mem-util --verify --verbose
Report memory and disk space utilization to Amazon CloudWatch:
mon-put-instance-stats.py --mem-util --disk-space-util --disk-path=/
To get utilization statistics for the last 12 hours:
mon-get-instance-stats.py --recent-hours=12
Configuration
-------------
To allow an EC2 instance to read and post metric data to Amazon CloudWatch,
this IAM policy is required:
```json
{
"Statement": [
{
"Action": [
"cloudwatch:ListMetrics",
"cloudwatch:GetMetricStatistics",
"cloudwatch:PutMetricData",
"autoscaling:DescribeAutoScalingInstances"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
```
If the policy is configured via an IAM role that is assigned to the EC2
server this script runs on, you're done.
Otherwise you can configure the policy for a user account and export
the credentials before running the script:
```sh
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=[Your AWS Access Key ID]
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=[Your AWS Secret Access Key]
```
Third option is to create a _~/.boto_ file with this content:
```
[Credentials]
aws_access_key_id = Your AWS Access Key ID
aws_secret_access_key = Your AWS Secret Access Key
```
