AWS CloudWatch Monitoring Program

Put Linux System metrics to AWS CloudWatch

Memory

• Memory Utilization - Memory usage in percent
• Memory Used - Used memory in bytes
• Memory Available - Available memory in bytes
• Swap Utilization - Swap usage in percent
• Swap Used - Swap used in bytes

Disk

• Disk Space Utilization - Disk space usage in percent
• Disk Space Used - Disk space used in bytes
• Disk Space Available - Disk space available in bytes
• Linux partition inode usage - Disk parttion inodes usage in percent

Usage

• You need to config you aws credential before run the program
• Run the program as following for full metrics push

go-aws-mon --namespace=<NAMESPACE> --mem-util --mem-used --mem-avail --swap-util --swap-used  --disk-space-util --disk-inode-util --disk-space-used --disk-space-avail --disk-path=PATH

PATH, multiple paths are supported by comma(,) saperate, e.x. /,/var,/home

• By default, the CloudWatch namespace is "Linux/System" and Memory Utilization and / Disk Utilization are always push
• We recommend to change the bin/mon-put-instance-metric.sh to setup a cron job
