CloudWatch Agent
Cloudaware integrates with CloudWatch agents to collect instance-level utilization data and generate capacity utilization reports for customers.
To see how Cloudaware seamlessly integrates with CloudWatch in action, request a demo.
Prerequisites
Before integrating, review the CloudWatch agent configuration and provide Cloudaware with the following details:
Do all CloudWatch agents share the same configuration, or is each one configured separately? Learn more
Is the namespace custom or the default (
CWAgent)?Are metrics stored in the same account or sent to a different account*? Learn more
If you use a centralized configuration file for all agents, provide the file as show here.
*Cloudaware cannot collect CloudWatch metrics that are sent to a different account.
Which pair of dimensions (
InstanceId+InstanceType) is used – default or custom**? Read more (see the section CloudWatch agent configuration file: Metrics section →aggregation_dimensions)
**Cloudaware cannot collect metrics if a custom dimension pair is used.
Add a CW Agent config file to Cloudaware
Provide the CloudWatch agent configuration to Cloudaware by contacting your dedicated technical account manager or via tam@cloudaware.com.
