apt-get update
apt-get install unzip

For RHEL
sudo yum install zip unzip

For SUSE

Installing the monitoring scripts on the instance


Run the below command and download the zip folder for the monitaring scripts from
amazon
curl http://aws-cloudwatch.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/CloudWatchMonitoringScripts-
1.2.1.zip -O

unzip the folder using following command


unzip CloudWatchMonitoringScripts-1.2.1.zip

cd aws-scripts-mon
mv awscreds.template awscreds.conf
Now using nano editer add Credentials of your IAM user and set permission
But Firstly you need to configure your IAM role and give access permision
and add the this in your ec2 instance
nano awscreds.conf

add
AWSAccessKeyId=AKIA2544XUKRHWRL54IT
AWSSecretKey=3x4mp13/5Pdc2z83wOK1XDMPI/sGGlo+NyBM4fI

save this file using Ctrl + o and enter then Ctrl + x to save and exit

Testing:
Run the command for testing
./mon-put-instance-data.pl --mem-util --mem-used --disk-path=/ --disk-space-
util --disk-space-avail --verify --verbose
