Introduction

The purpose of this plugin is to monitor EC2 instances and AWS regions, using key metrics regarding CPU, networks, IOPs and disks that are essential to control and monitor these machines and to guarantee optimal performance, solve problems, plan scaling , comply with SLAs and improve security.

Total and regional costs are also monitored, which is useful for keeping track of these directly from Pandora.

The plugin connects to the AWS API and monitors zones and instances using the aforementioned metrics, generating an agent for each zone and instance via XML that is sent to the Pandora server.
