zabbix-cloudwatch | Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring service | AWS library

Install boto on zabbix server via pip. Create cloudwatch directory in "/opt/zabbix/cloudwatch" and do a git pull from this repository. Add AWS account credential to the configuration file "conf/awscred". Find the metrics from AmazonCloudWatch Developer Guide and add metrics to the configuration file "conf/aws_services_metrics.conf". Create a zabbix template for an AWS service, then create items with metrics key by using zabbix trapper type. Sample templates can be found in "templates" folder. AWS Metric Zabbix Trapper Item Key Format without Discovery. AWS Metric Zabbix Trapper Item Key Format with Discovery. DynamoDB Item Key Format is different from the standard setup, due to combinations of different dimensions and metrics. operations_all = ['GetItem', 'PutItem', 'Query', 'Scan', 'UpdateItem', 'DeleteItem', 'BatchGetItem', 'BatchWriteItem']. operations_metrics = ['SuccessfulRequestLatency', 'SystemErrors', 'ThrottledRequests].
