Monitor an EC2 by CPU core

Question

we want to create a monitor by CPU Core.  Currently only summary(total CPU) is available.  We have a product which is license to run on only a subset of the CPUs and want to monitor those cores.

Hi John,

Please check CloudWatch agent that this fullfill your requirements:
[https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/metrics-collected-by-CloudWatch-agent.html]()

For Linux you can also use for example sysstat and it's sar package or top/htop/atop which may show core usage.

About "product" I assume that this require that specific EC2 should exact the same core that license allow - that's the standard, it's depends of "Product" but I suggest to do use exact sizing of license and EC2 instance.

Thanks,
