Sun, 05 Aug 2018 17:06:19 +0000

In this article, we will see step-by-step instructions to setup AWS EC2 Instance Monitoring Alarms using AWS Cloudwatch and CloudWatch Agent. The purpose of this post is to create a unified guide document to implement CloudWatch alarms as I couldn’t find any such documents when I tried to implement this for the first time.

Assumption:

This guide is written with the basic assumption that you want to implement Cloudwatch alarms in Linux based operating systems and the instructions are given for Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 operating system, however, it will work for other Linux variants also but commands like “apt” or “apt-get” must be replaced with command like “yum” relevant to the operating system.

Are you thinking of Switching to Ubuntu (or any other Linux distribution) from Windows but afraid to jump ship?

Maybe my story will help.

Before I tell you why I have dumped Windows for Linux, First I’ll tell you about my relationship with computers.

The First time I have touched a computer is when I was in my 5th Standard (2001-2002) in our school.

They bought a second hand Windows 95 computer with a Black and White CRT monitor. I have used it to draw a few rectangles using the LOGO language.
