Docker CloudWatch Monitor

Docker container that will periodically send EC2 instance metrics to Amazon CloudWatch

Usage:

  docker run -d \
    -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<Amazon Key> \
    -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<Amazon secret> \
    --name=cloudwatch-monitor \
    athieriot/cloudwatch-monitor

All metrics are recorded:

  --mem-util          Reports memory utilization in percentages.
  --mem-used          Reports memory used in megabytes.
  --mem-avail         Reports available memory in megabytes.

  --swap-util         Reports swap utilization in percentages.
  --swap-used         Reports allocated swap space in megabytes.

  --disk-path=PATH    Selects the disk by the path on which to report.
  --disk-space-util   Reports disk space utilization in percentages.
  --disk-space-used   Reports allocated disk space in gigabytes.
  --disk-space-avail  Reports available disk space in gigabytes

  --auto-scaling      Reports Auto Scaling metrics in addition to instance metrics.

By default, metrics will be send once per 60 seconds. This can be change using FREQUENCY variable:

  docker run -d \
    -e FREQUENCY=120 \
    -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<Amazon Key> \
    -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<Amazon secret> \
    --name=cloudwatch-monitor \
    athieriot/cloudwatch-monitor

The disk space and usage will be the one of the host machine. This can be configured:

  docker run -d \
    -e DISK_PATH=/media/disk \
    -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<Amazon Key> \
    -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<Amazon secret> \
    --name=cloudwatch-monitor \
    athieriot/cloudwatch-monitor
