Hello Seb,

To be honnest, due to the lack of responses, I postponed it.
However, I started to work on a project that is related to AWS, and 
requires monitoring. So I'm changing my plans to work on the monitoring 
part first.

I'll post my homework on github. If you have an account on Github and 
would like to contribute, share your username, and I'll add you as a 
collaborator.

Regards,

Hi Damien,

Have you made any progress with this?? Even the instance checks alone 
would have value.

Kind regards,

SebA

    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.
