Dear Amazon EC2 Customer,
We're excited to let you know that as of today, all Amazon EC2 instances
come with free Basic Monitoring metrics from our Monitoring service,
Amazon CloudWatch. You don't need to do anything to make this happen.
It's there for you to use. Simply sign in to the AWS Management Console
and select one of your active instances. You will immediately be able to
view graphs and track performance on metrics such as CPU utilization,
disk reads and writes, and network traffic.
Basic Monitoring for Amazon EC2 provides metric data on instance
performance at five-minute frequency. Customers can optionally choose to
enable Detailed Monitoring, which provides metric data at one-minute
frequency for an additional $0.015 per instance-hour.
In addition, starting today you can now set alarms for any metric that
Amazon CloudWatch monitors. You can configure these alarms via API call
to send notifications or initiate Auto Scaling actions when metrics
cross certain thresholds. Alarm pricing starts at $0.10 per alarm per month.
All the features mentioned above are available immediately in all
regions (US-N. Virginia, US-N. California, EU-Ireland, APAC-Singapore),
and we invite you to try them today! Learn more about Amazon CloudWatch

volumes, Elastic Load Balancers, and Amazon RDS DB instances.
