Monitoring an AWS ec2 instance

[dpasacritacrown]

I'm having a huge amount of trouble figuring out if I can monitor an AWS instance, specifically an EC2 server. I'm not able to install the standard linux NRPE agent, as it tells me it isn't compatible with AWS, and there's no installer or wizard I can find for EC2 servers anywhere.

Some information from Nagios, such as this: https://www.nagios.com/solutions/aws-monitoring/ suggest that this can be done, but I can't find any information anywhere. Anyone have any tips? There are some important servers in AWS that we'd really like to monitor.

If you can't hack together NRPE to work, would check by SSH work out? https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ng_SSH.pdf

Also, what is failing on NRPE? Are you using the fullinstall script, or compiling from source?

Somehow I missed the document about installing from source haha. It works now! You can close this post. Thanks!

Glad to see you found a solution! I'll close this out now, but if you need more assistance in the future feel free to open a new thread.
