amazon-cloudwatch

tl;dr The configuration of cloudwatch agent is #$%^. Any straightforward way? I wanted one place to store the logs, so I used Amazon CloudWatch Logs Agent. At first it seemed like I'd just add a Resource saying something like "create a log group, then a log stream and send this file, thank you" - all declarative and neat, but... According to this doc I had to setup JSON configuration that created a BASH script that downloaded a Python script that set up the service that used a generated config in yet-another-language somewhere else. I'd think logging is something frequently used, so there must

I would like to enable the Stream to Amazon Elasticsearch Service from Cloudwatch to Elasticsearch. I'm familiar with how to do that manually, I'm looking for a way to achieve that by running aws cli commands. assuming Elasticsearch is already configured, is there any way to automate the process ?

Any suggestions how can I achive that? You can let CloudWatch terminate your EC2 instance and let AutoScaling bring up another "fresh" instance with your application configured. AWS CloudWatch now provides a reboot EC2 instance action . If only your application halt but EC2 instance works. You could write a shell monitor the app using CloudWatch API and shoot the app when necessary,then make it a

I want to apply a CloudWatch alarm to instances as they are being created. The alarm should send a message to an email account when CPU usage drops below 10% for 1 full day. I believe the best way of achieving this is by using a User data script at the time of launching the instance. Yes, you could use User Data to create the CloudWatch Alarm and notification . Start by creating an Amazon SNS topic for receiving notifications. Subscribe an email address to receive the notifications. This SNS topic can be used for all notifications, so only needs to be created once. Then, create a User Data
