AWS CloudWatch Plugin for Nagios XI

[swapnil.kadam]

Hello Team,

I am new to Nagios family, and currently trying to integrate Nagios XI with Amazon CloudWatch. So that I can see the AWS CloudWatch metrics log in Nagios.
Please let me know if there is plugin available to integrate Nagios XI and AWS CloudWatch. I would appreciate if you can provide implementation steps for the same.

Regards,
Swapnil

Is there a way to configure it using Nagios XI web interface? or by just installing a plug-in with host file configuration?
Please share any relevant documentation.

This plugin for sure will require CLI access. While you can create commands for this plugin through the UI, you will need to test it as suggested here

As of this time there is no wizard for this plugin.

Can I view CloudWatch Metrics log in Nagios? The data which is captured by CloudWatch from AWS resources
If yes, how can I configure it?

As slansing pointed out in the documentation in this post, you can add the the plugin to XI and configure it to pull CloudWatch Metrics

I am getting following error message:

(No output on stdout) stderr: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_cloudwatch_status-2.1.77.rb:12:in `require': no such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError)

Configuration details from services.cfg file for nagios:

define service {
host_name Amazon_EC2_Instance_Name
service_description AWS CPUUtilization
use generic-service
check_command check_cloudwatch_status!i-xxxxxxxx!/usr/local/nagios/libexec/ec2-api/ec2_credentials.cfg!CPUUtilization!50!80

}

Is this the same problem you are having in this post?

No, this is a different problem with integration of CloudWatch with Nagios XI
