#18.CloudWatch Agent Install.

 

#1.Intro.

AWS의 모든 서비스가 중요하겠지만, 개인적으로 가장 Main인 서비스라고 생각한다.

이번에는 스크립트만 기입하고 추가적으로 필요한 내용들은 추후에 작성하겠다.

 

#2.Main.

설치를 Ubuntu 20.04로 하였지만, 상황에 맞게 설치.

Cloudwatch Agent 설치

 

0. IAM 정책 연결

Cloudwatch Agent를 설치하기 전 필요한 IAM 정책을 역할에 연결.

EC2 역할에 IAM 정책  cloudwatchAgentServerPolicy(기본적으로 있는 Managed Policy, 따로 생성 X)을 연결.

 

1. Agent 설치

wget <https://s3.amazonaws.com/amazoncloudwatch-agent/ubuntu/amd64/latest/amazon-cloudwatch-agent.deb>
sudo dpkg -i -E ./amazon-cloudwatch-agent.deb

2. Wizard 구성(상황에 맞게 선택)

sudo /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/amazon-cloudwatch-agent-config-wizard
