amazon-cloudwatch

I would like to start using metrics in my Springboot app and I would also like to publish them my amazon cloudwatch I know that with Springboot we can activate spring-actuator that provides in memory metrics and published them to the /metrics endpoint. I stumbled across Spring-cloud that seems to have some lib to periodically publish these metrics to Cloudwatch, however I have no clue how to set them up? There is absolutely 0 examples of how to use it. Anyone could explain what are the step to enable the metric to be sent to cloudwatch? You can check my article here: https://dkublik.github.io

I've recently started testing out LightSail , but I would like to keep my logging centralized in CloudWatch , but cannot seem to find anything that would enable this. Interestingly LightSail instances do not appear in the EC2 Dashboard. I thought they were just EC2 instances beneath the surface. I thought they were just EC2 instances beneath the surface. Yes... but. Conceptually speaking, you are the customer of Lightsail, and Lightsail is the customer of EC2. It's as though there were an intermediary between you and AWS. The Lightsail resources are in EC2, but they're not in your EC2. They

My docker-compose file: version: '2' services: scraper: build: ./Scraper/ logging: driver: "awslogs" options: awslogs-region: "eu-west-1" awslogs-group: "doctors-logs" awslogs-stream: "scrapers-stream" volumes: - ./Scraper/spiders:/spiders I have added my AWS credentials to my mac using the aws configure command and the credentials are stored correctly in ~/.aws/credentials When I run docker-compose up I get the following error: ERROR: for scraper Cannot start service scraper: Failed to initialize logging driver: NoCredentialProviders: no valid providers in chain. Deprecated. For verbose

I have lambda function defined sth like : def lambda_handler(event, context): #get constant json argument passed from cloudwatch event rule ... What is the way to get the values defined in Target/Configure Input /Constant(Json text). Dominic Nguyen As I read in AWS documents, json passed to python as dict type. And then I simply call the value like this: passed json: {"type": "daily", "retention": 7} Then in your handler: def lambda_handler(event, context): type = event["type"] rententionDay = event["retention"] ... Use this I was able to make an automation snapshot for all ebs volumes. Hope

I am trying to parse log entries which are mix of text and JSON. First line is text representation and next lines are JSON payload of the event. One of the possible examples are: 2016-07-24T21:08:07.888Z [INFO] Command completed lessonrecords-create { "key": "lessonrecords-create", "correlationId": "c1c07081-3f67-4ab3-a5e2-1b3a16c87961", "result": { "id": "9457ce88-4e6f-4084-bbea-14fff78ce5b6", "status": "NA", "private": false, "note": "Test note", "time": "2016-02-01T01:24:00.000Z", "updatedAt": "2016-07-24T21:08:07.879Z", "createdAt": "2016-07-24T21:08:07.879Z", "authorId": null, "lessonId":

So I've been using Boto in Python to try and configure autoscaling based on CPUUtilization, more or less exactly as specified in this example: http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/autoscale_tut.html However both alarms in CloudWatch just report: State Details: State changed to 'INSUFFICIENT_DATA' at 2012/11/12 16:30 UTC. Reason: Unchecked: Initial alarm creation Auto scaling is working fine but the alarms aren't picking up any CPUUtilization data at all. Any ideas for things I can try? Edit: The instance itself reports CPU utilisation data, just not when I try and create an alarm in

I have a cloudwatch alarm configured : Threshold : "GreaterThan 0" for 1 consecutive period, Period : 1 minute, Statistic : Sum The alarm is configured on top of AWS SQS NumberOfMessagesSent. The queue was empty and no messages were being published to it. I sent a message manually. I could see the spike in metric but state of alarm was still OK. I am a bit confused why this alarm is not changing its state even though all the conditions to trigger this are met. I just overcame this problem with the help of AWS support. You need to set the period on your alarm to ~15 minutes. It's got to do with

I have an app that puts a custom Cloudwatch metric to AWS every minute. This is supposed to act as a heartbeat so I know the app is alive. Now I want to put an alarm on this metric to notify me if the heartbeat stops. I have tried to accomplish this using different cloudwatch alarm statistics including "average" and "data samples" and setting an alarm threshold less than 1 over a given period. However, in all cases, if my app dies and stops reporting the heartbeat, the alarm will only go into an "Insufficient Data" state and never into an "Alarm" state. I understand I can put a notification on
