Simple website monitoring

Question

I have a web server running in Lightsail and over the weekend, it crashed due to running out of memory. As I understand it, the existing alarm options aren't there for memory consumption or web server health. Is there a way to add these, maybe through the existing cloudwatch agent to monitor the free memory as well as the open ports or web server process?

Thanks!

Answer

Unfortunately, I don't think this is even possible. I was able to get the CloudWatch agent working in my Lightsail instance and see the results in CloudWatch, but I can't create an alarm to notify me when something's out of range b/c I get the message: *Alarm creation is not enabled if your graph contains metrics from different regions/accounts*
