policies for AWS monitoring.
{#aws-checks-policies__table_rgw_psy_vrb__entry__5}

| Type | Check | Description | Usage | Usage example |
|-|-|-|-|-|
| Metric | aws.metrics-ec2 | Returns metrics of all EC2 instances in a AWS Datacenter. | metrics-ec2.rb (options) -F, --filter FILTER String representation of the filter to filter EC2 instances by tags. -b, --batch_size BATCH_SIZE Batch size. Number of instances to fetch metrics in parallel. (Default value: 10) | `./metrics-ec2.rb -F "{name:tag:environment,values:[ENV1,ENV2]} {name:tag:Name,values:[Instance1,Instance2]}"` Provide the filter string along with double quotes ("") around the filter parameter. Set the batch_size parameter according to the agent environment. |
| Metric | aws.metrics-ebs | Returns metrics of all EBS volumes in an AWS datacenter. | metrics-ebs.rb (options) -F, --filter FILTER String representation of the filter to filter EBS Volumes by Tags. -b, --batch_size BATCH_SIZE Batch size. Number of volumes to fetch metrics parallelly. (Default value: 10) | `./metrics-ebs.rb -F "{name:tag:environment,values:[ENV1,ENV2]} {name:tag:Name,values:[Volume1,Volume2]}"` Provide filter string along with double quotes ("") for the filter parameter. Set the batch_size parameter according to the agent environment. |
| Metric | aws.metrics-s3 | Returns metrics of all S3 buckets in an AWS datacenter. | metrics-s3.rb (options) -b, --batch_size BATCH_SIZE Batch size. Number of S3 buckets to fetch metrics in parallel. (Default value: 10) | `./metrics-s3.rb -b 5` Set the batch_size parameter according to the agent environment. |
| Metric | aws.metrics-rds | Returns metrics of all RDS buckets in an AWS datacenter. | metrics-rds.rb (options) -F, --filter FILTER String representation of the filter to filter RDS Instances by tags. -b, --batch_size BATCH_SIZE Batch size. Number of databases to fetch metrics in parallel. (Default value: 10) | `./metrics-rds.rb -F "{name:tag:environment,values:[ENV1,ENV2]} {name:tag:engine,values:[MariaDB]}"` Provide the filter string with double quotes ("") around the filter parameter. Set the batch_size parameter according to the agent environment. |
| Metric | aws.metrics-classic-elb | Returns metrics of all classic elastic load balancers in an AWS datacenter. | metrics-elb.rb (options) -e, --exclude_lb EXCLUDE_LB Exclude metrics from load balancers whose name contains one of the comma separated strings. -b, --batch_size BATCH_SIZE Batch size. Number of databases to fetch metrics in parallel. (Default value: 10) | `./metrics-elb.rb -t classic -e "classic,itom,ip" -b 10` Provide comma separated strings in double quotes ("") for the exclude_lb parameter. Set the batch_size parameter according to the agent environment. |
| Metric | aws.metrics-network-elb | Returns metrics of all network elastic load balancers in an AWS datacenter. | metrics-elb.rb (options) -e, --exclude_lb EXCLUDE_LB Exclude metrics from load balancers whose name contains any of the comma separated strings. -b, --batch_size BATCH_SIZE Batch size. Number of databases to fetch metrics in parallel. (Default value: 10) | `./metrics-elb.rb -t network -e "vpc,itom,ip" -b 10` Provide comma separated strings in double quotes ("") for the exclude_lb parameter. Set the batch_size parameter according to the agent environment. Do not change the command prefix. |
| Metric | aws.metrics-application-elb | Returns metrics of all application elastic load balancers in an AWS datacenter. | metrics-elb.rb (options) -e, --exclude_lb EXCLUDE_LB Exclude metrics from load balancers whose name contains any one of the string from comma separated strings. -b, --batch_size BATCH_SIZE Batch size. Number of databases to fetch metrics in parallel. (Default value: 10) | `./metrics-elb.rb -t application -e "classic,app,ip" -b 10` Provide comma separated strings in double quotes ("") for the exclude_lb parameter. Set the batch_size parameter according to the agent environment. Do not change the command prefix. |
| Metric | aws.metrics-ec2-count | Returns count of EC2 instances by instance_type or status in an AWS datacenter. | metrics-ec2-count.rb (options) -s, --scheme SCHEME Metric naming scheme, text to prepend to metric. Default: aws.ec2 -t, --type METRIC type Count by type: status, instance. Default: instance | `./metrics-ec2-count.rb -t status` `./metrics-ec2-count.rb -t status -s metric.aws.ec2` |
