Does NagiosXI wizard Amazon EC2 & Amazon S3 not support to monitor AWS RDS? (it need to install AWS RDS plugin?)

I search forum and notice the link below, it seems easier to setup than the plugin Check_AWS_CloudWatch_metrics?
the plugin Check_AWS_CloudWatch_metrics get data from CloudWatch while pmp-check-aws-rds.py get data directly from RDS?

I had installed the plugin pmp-check-aws-rds.py, but don't know how to setup(although there's a help file), could you share the steps how to setup to monitor RDS?

I am not familiar with this plugin, but you could view some examples of the usage here:

https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-mon ... ds.py.html

and view the help by passing the "-h" flag:

Code: Select all

[root@main-nagios-xi libexec]# ./pmp-check-aws-rds.py -h
Usage: pmp-check-aws-rds.py [options]

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -l, --list            list of all DB instances
  -n PROFILE, --profile=PROFILE
                        AWS profile from ~/.boto or /etc/boto.cfg. Default:
                        None, fallbacks to "[Credentials]".
  -r REGION, --region=REGION
                        AWS region. Default: us-east-1. If set to "all", we
                        try to detect the instance region across all of them,
                        note this will be slower than if you specify the
                        region explicitly.
  -i IDENT, --ident=IDENT
                        DB instance identifier
  -p, --print           print status and other details for a given DB instance
  -m METRIC, --metric=METRIC
                        metric to check: [status, load, storage, memory]
  -w WARN, --warn=WARN  warning threshold
  -c CRIT, --crit=CRIT  critical threshold
  -u UNIT, --unit=UNIT  unit of thresholds for "storage" and "memory" metrics:
                        [percent, GB].Default: percent
  -t TIME, --time=TIME  time period in minutes to query. Default: 5
  -a AVG, --avg=AVG     time average in minutes to request. Default: 1
  -f, --forceunknown    force alerts on unknown status. This prevents issues
                        related to AWS Cloudwatch throttling limits Default:
                        False
  -d, --debug           enable debug output

Once you test the plugin from the command line, and make sure it works, you can add a new command, and a service to Nagios XI. To learn more on how to manage plugins in Nagios XI, please review our documentation on the topic here:
