Amazon CloudWatch Agent Usage

To use Amazon CloudWatch Agent, configure it within the Amazon SSM Parameter Store. If you don't have a configuration yet, do :ref:`configuration_creation`.

  1. Create an :abbr:`IAM (Identity and Access Management)` role for the :abbr:`EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud)` instance to access CloudWatch service, and name it CloudWatchAgentServerRole. The role should contain two default policies: CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy and AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore.
  2. Attach the created role to your VyOS :abbr:`EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud)` instance.
  3. Ensure that amazon-cloudwatch-agent package is installed.
$ sudo apt list --installed | grep amazon-cloudwatch-agent

Note

The amazon-cloudwatch-agent package is normally included in VyOS 1.3.3+ and 1.4+

  1. Retreive an existing CloudWatch Agent configuration from the :abbr:`SSM (Systems Manager)` Parameter Store.
$ sudo /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/amazon-cloudwatch-agent-ctl -a fetch-config -m ec2 -s -c ssm:<your-configuration-name>

This step also enables systemd service and runs it.

Note

The VyOS platform-specific scripts feature is under development. Thus, this step should be repeated manually after changing system image (:doc:`/installation/update`)

CloudWatch SSM Configuration creation

Creating the Amazon Cloudwatch Agent Configuration in Amazon :abbr:`SSM (Systems Manager)` Parameter Store.

  1. Create an :abbr:`IAM (Identity and Access Management)` role for your :abbr:`EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud)` instance to access the CloudWatch service. Name it CloudWatchAgentAdminRole. The role should contain at two default policies: CloudWatchAgentAdminPolicy and AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore.

Note

CloudWatchAgentServerRole is too permisive and should be used for single configuration creation and deployment. That's why after completion of step #3 higly recommended to replace instance CloudWatchAgentAdminRole role with CloudWatchAgentServerRole.

  1. Run Cloudwatch configuration wizard.
$ sudo /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/amazon-cloudwatch-agent-config-wizard
  1. When prompted, answer "yes" to the question "Do you want to store the config in the SSM parameter store?".
