Getting error while setup the cloudwatch plugin

[CentricIT]

Hi Team,

we are trying to monitor the AWS cloudwatch with nagios-cloudwatch-metrics-master

we downloaded the plugin and extracted into the nagios server. While trying to run the plugin, we are getting an error as below.

./check_cloudwatch.sh --timeout=30 --region="us-east-2" --namespace="CWAgent" --metric="disk_used_percent" --statistics="Average" --mins="15" --dimensions="Name=InstanceId,Value=i-0b0dc3b61a0304265" --warning=50 --critical=100

Hello @CentricIT,

The plugin requires jq, awscli and bc. However, urlib3 being used within this plugin and requires python 2.7.

What distribution and version of Linux are you currently using?

Hi benjaminsmith,

Thank you for your quick response.

We are using Centos 6.9 on our Nagiosxi server.

Helllo @CentricIT,

We are using Centos 6.9 on our Nagiosxi server.

It looks like CentOS 6.9 base repositories only support python up to version 2.6.6. If possible, I would recommend setting up a Nagios XI test server and migrate the server to CentOS 7 which supports python 2.7.x.

Your Nagios XI license is valid for 3 installs.
