Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) provides scalable computing capacity in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud.

You must configure cloud connections to monitor this entity. See Set up Cisco AppDynamics Cloud Collectors to Monitor AWS.

Cisco Cloud Observability displays AWS entities on the Observe page. Metrics are displayed for specific entity instances in the list and detail views.

Detail View

To display the detail view for an Amazon EC2 instance:

Navigate to the Observe page.
Under Compute, click a Hosts group.
The Hosts list view now displays.
Click the AWS tab to display only AWS hosts.
Click a host Name to display the detail view.
(Optional) If you have set up Host Monitoring, you can use the Data Source dropdown to choose a data source for your metrics. Selecting All Sources from the dropdown displays metrics from Amazon EC2 and Cisco AppDynamics (Infrastructure Collector). Select the host from the dropdown to display metrics from a single source.

Metrics and Key Performance Indicators

Cisco Cloud Observability displays the following metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for Amazon EC2. See List the available CloudWatch metrics for your instances.

Display Name	Source Metric	Description
CPU Utilization (%)	`CPUUtilization`	The percentage of time the CPU was busy processing system or user requests.
Disk ThroughPut (KiB/Sec)	`DiskReadBytes` `DiskWriteBytes`	The amount of data per second read from all disk devices. The amount of data per second written to all disk devices.
Disk IOPS (Ops/Sec)	`DiskReadOps` `DiskWriteOps`	The number of read operations per second performed on all disk devices. The number of write operations per second performed on all disk devices.
EBS IOPS (Ops/Sec)	`EBSReadOps` `EBSWriteOps`	The number of read operations per second performed on all disk devices. The number of write operations per second performed on all disk devices.
Network Throughput (KiB/Sec)	`NetworkIn` `NetworkOut`	The amount of data per second received by all monitored network interfaces. The volume of data sent per second by all monitored network interfaces.
Network Packets (Count/Sec)	`NetworkPacketsIn` `NetworkPacketsOut`	The number of data packets per second received by all monitored network interfaces. The number of data packets sent per second by all monitored network interfaces.
CPU Credits (vCPU-Minutes)	`CPUCreditUsage` `CPUCreditBalance`	The number of credits available for the instance to spend to burst beyond its baseline CPU utilization. Only available on burstable cloud instances. The number of CPU credits spent (or consumed) by the instance for CPU utilization. Only available on burstable cloud instances.
Status Check Failed (0/1)	`StatusCheckFailed`	Reports whether the instance has passed both the instance status check and the system status check in the last minute. This metric can be either 0 (passed) or 1 (failed).
