CloudWatch Agent - metrics are not reporting - Windows

Question

The CloudWatch Agent has been installed and configured. There is an IAM profile that allows communications. The configuration is correct, as there are several other installations managed using this configuration without problems. Just having trouble with this particular case.

In the Amazon CloudWatch Agent logs, I see the following errors:

configuration-validation.log
2023-12-06T21:51:59Z E! The service process could not connect to the service controller.

amazon-cloudwatch-agent.log
2023-12-07T16:24:07Z E! cloudwatch: WriteToCloudWatch failure, err:  RequestError: send request failed
caused by: Post "https://monitoring.sa-east-1.amazonaws.com/": dial tcp 172.30.1.233:443: connectex: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
2023-12-07T16:28:32Z E! cloudwatch: code: RequestError, message: send request failed, original error: Post "https://monitoring.sa-east-1.amazonaws.com/": dial tcp 172.30.1.233:443: connectex: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

I did what this documentation (https://repost.aws/pt/knowledge-center/cloudwatch-unified-agent-metrics-issues) instructed and this was the result:

I don't know what to do or how to proceed. Could you shed some light? If you need any more information, I am at your disposal. Thank you in advance for your help.

Accepted Answer

Hello.

Since the private IP address can be confirmed with "nslookup monitoring.sa-east-1.amazonaws.com", we assume that it is accessed using a VPC endpoint to CloudWatch.  
Have you configured a security group to allow communication from EC2 to the VPC endpoint?
