- Amazon CloudWatch (Monitoring) Command Line Tools
- =================================================
- Installation:
- -------------
- 1. Ensure that JAVA version 1.5 or higher is installed on your system: (java -version)
- 2. Unzip the deployment zip file
- 3. Set the following environment variables:
- 3.1 AWS_CLOUDWATCH_HOME - The directory where the deployment files were copied to
- check with:
- Unix: ls ${AWS_CLOUDWATCH_HOME}/bin should list mon-list-metrics ...)
- Windows: dir %AWS_CLOUDWATCH_HOME%\bin should list mon-list-metrics ...)
- 3.2 JAVA_HOME - Java Installation home directory
- 4. Add ${AWS_CLOUDWATCH_HOME}/bin (in Windows: %AWS_CLOUDWATCH_HOME%\bin) to your path
- Configuration:
- --------------
- Provide the command line tool with your AWS user credentials. There
- are two ways you can provide credentails: AWS keys, or using X.509
- certificates.
- Using AWS Keys
- --------------
- 1. Create a credential file: The deployment includes a template file ${AWS_CLOUDWATCH_HOME}/credential-file-path.template.
- Edit a copy of this file to add your information.
- On UNIX, limit permissions to the owner of the credential file: $ chmod 600 <the file created above>.
- 2. There are several ways to provide your credential information:
- a. Set the following environment variable: AWS_CREDENTIAL_FILE=<the file created in 1>
- b. Alternatively, provide the following option with every command --aws-credential-file <the file created in 1>
- c. Explicitly specify credentials on the command line: --I ACCESS_KEY --S SECRET_KEY
-
- Using X.509 Certs
- -----------------
- 1. Save your cetificate and private keys to files: e.g. my-cert.pem
- and my-pk.pem.
- 2. There are two ways to provide the certificate information to the
- command line tool
- a. Set the following environment variables:
- EC2_CERT=/path/to/cert/file
- EC2_PRIVATE_KEY=/path/to/key/file
- b. Specify the files directly on command-line for every command
- <command> --ec2-cert-file-path=/path/to/cert/file --ec2-private-key-file-path=/path/to/key/file
- Setting custom JVM properties
- -----------------------------
- By setting the environment variable SERVICE_JVM_ARGS, you can pass arbitrary JVM properties to the command line.
- For example, the following line sets proxy server properties in Linux/UNIX
- export SERVICE_JVM_ARGS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=http://my.proxy.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080"
- Running:
- ---------
- 1. Check that your setup works properly, run the following command:
- $ mon-cmd --help
- You should see the usage page for all Monitoring commands
- $ mon-list-metrics --headers
- You should see a header line. If you have any metrics defined, you should see them as well.
