Status check failed for system

Question

I have 3 EBS application that work fine (.Net on Linux). However, the visible status in the Console always is "Unknown" o "No Data".

I've cheched EC2 system logs and found this error:

```
Sending signal 0 to CFN wait condition https://cloudformation-waitcondition-eu-west-1....
Error signaling CloudFormation: [Errno 403] HTTP Error 403 : Access Denied
Wait Condition Signal expired.
```

EC2 console also says: "Status check failed for system", "Status check failed for instance" and "Status check failed for attached EBS"

I've checked "daemon.log". It says:

```
sending message(s) failed (attempt 18): (Aws::Healthd::Errors::AccessDeniedException) 
User: arn:aws:sts::6645664***:assumed-role/aws-elasticbeanstalk-ec2-role/i-06af60ea9a5a9**** is not 
authorized to perform: elasticbeanstalk:PutInstanceStatistics on resource: 
arn:aws:elasticbeanstalk:eu-west-1:66456648****:application/C******. 
Backing off by 200 seconds in addition to delay interval
```

Why? What is going on? What else do I have to check?

Accepted Answer

To resolve this issue, you should update the IAM role (aws-elasticbeanstalk-ec2-role) to include the necessary permissions. You can do this by attaching a policy that grants the elasticbeanstalk:PutInstanceStatistics permission for the required resources
