Hello.

When you say VM, do you mean EC2?  
Have you installed CloudWatch Agent on EC2 and configured it to output metrics?  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch-Agent-procstat-process-metrics.html

In the case of Linux, I think it can be stopped using the following command.  
https://github.com/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/blob/main/packaging/dependencies/amazon-cloudwatch-agent-ctl  
```
sudo /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/amazon-cloudwatch-agent-ctl -m ec2 -a stop
```
