Practical

1. Detailed CloudWatch

• We can enable detailed CloudWatch either while creating an instance or clicking on action -> CloudWatch -> enable detailed monitoring

2 .Create an alarm

• Cloudwatch -> create an alarm -> ec2 metrics -> per-

  instance metrics -> select an alarm (cpuutilization) ->

  name (highloadavg) -> description (high load avg) ->

  whenever (cpu utilization is more than 80%) -> actions ->

  whenever this alarm (state is ALARM) -> send

  notification to (loadavg) -> +EC2 option (optional option) -

  > take this action (stop this instance) -> period (if we

  want to change).

  or

• select the instance -> action -> cloudwatch -> edit/add

  alarm -> create a alarm -> shut down the instance

  when reaching cpuutilization 60% -> save.
