How to access metrics from CWAgent in CloudWatch console?

0

I've set up the CloudWatch agent on a Linux EC2 instance, but I'm completely stumped on how to access the metrics it produces in the CloudWatch console (in this case, some items from the procstat plug-in) . The documentation makes reference to selecting the CWAgent namespace, but I'm not seeing any way to specify this namespace when browsing metrics. All I see from this instance is the standard set of metrics like CPU utilization, etc. Any advice?

I think this issue has been solved. It was ultimately a configuration problem with the agent, which wasn't immediately evident from the agent's own log file, but was revealed in /var/log/messages. Once this problem was corrected, the CWAgent namespace began appearing on the CloudWatch console page.

See if this link helps. It talks about procstat plugin and how to collect metrics using the same

  • Sandeep, thanks for the reply. Yes, that is the doc page I am referring to; at the bottom it makes mention of choosing the CWAgent namespace, but I don't see where that can be done on the CloudWatch console page, and none of the new stats are appearing in the list of per-instance metrics for this instance.

    As far as I can tell, all indications of the agent on the instance itself (such as the agent log) are normal.
