ansible-role-cloudwatchagent

=========

Ansible role for installing and configuring the CloudWatch CloudWatch Agent https://galaxy.ansible.com/singleplatform-eng/cloudwatchagent/

Role Variables

Metrics to be collected, and the params of metrics collection (including collection interval) can be configured in the variable cwa_metrics. The template will convert the yaml into nice_json to create the amazon-cloudwatch-agent.json configuration file.

Example:

cwa_metrics:
  agent:
     metrics_collection_interval: 60
     logfile: "/opt/aws/amazon-clouwatch-agent.log"
  metrics:
    metrics_collected:
      disk:
        resources:
          - "/"
          - "/tmp"
        measurement:
         - "used_percent"
         append_dimensions:
            InstanceId: "{{ ec2_id }}"

Currently this role only supports metrics collection, in future it will also support logs collection as well.
