はじめに
本手順はCloudWatch Agentを手動インストールする手順を紹介する。
以前はログ収集用にCloudWatch Logs Agentが存在していたが、今では古い方法となっている。
CloudWatch Agentのインストールおよび設定ファイルの配布にはAWS Systems Manager(SSM)を用いたほうがよいが、
SSMは手動インストールを代行しているので
CloudWatch Agentをインストールするときに
どのようなことが行われているかを理解するために紹介する。
EC2インスタンスを用意
CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy
ポリシーを持つEC2インスタンスを作成する。
本手順では、OSにCentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 を使用している。
CloudWatch Agentインストール
下記ページを参考にCloudWatch AgentのインストーラのダウンロードURLを確認
コマンド
curl -L https://s3.amazonaws.com/amazoncloudwatch-agent/centos/amd64/latest/amazon-cloudwatch-agent.rpm -o amazon-cloudwatch-agent.rpm
sudo rpm -U ./amazon-cloudwatch-agent.rpm
実行結果
[centos@ip-172-31-18-148 ~]$ curl -L https://s3.amazonaws.com/amazoncloudwatch-a
gent/centos/amd64/latest/amazon-cloudwatch-agent.rpm -o amazon-cloudwatch-agent.

CloudWatch Agent設定
設定ウィザードで設定ファイルの作成が可能。
設定ウィザード実行コマンド
sudo /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/amazon-cloudwatch-agent-config-wizard
今回の手順では、システムメトリクスの収集(現在使用中のメモリの割合・現在使用中のスワップスペースの割合)、
/var/log/messages
のログ収集を行っている。
