Hi Damien,

That looks like a pretty good list!  In case you haven't included it in EC2
and RDS:
1. upcoming scheduled AWS maintenance affecting your instances;
2. EC2 instance running low on, and/or predicted to run out of CPU credits
based on utilization over the last x hours.

I wish you all the best in your endeavors.

Kind regards,

SebA

Hi all,

I'm starting to work on a set of Xymon client extensions to monitor
Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources.

As my own use case is not very representative, could you let me know
what is missing in this list ?

-EC2 instances checks (only the infrastructure layer, as the OS can
easily run genuine xymon client)

-RDS instances

-CloudWatch metrics/logs (most important, as it can be used as a central
point)

-CloudTrail events

-S3 usage

-IAM users/roles/policies (to ensure nothing changed)

-CloudFormation (check stacks are not drifting from template)


Feel free to tell me what service are missing, and explain the use case,
the important things to check.

This could be a long work, so do not expect to have something delivered
before Q2.
