Hello there,
https://checkmk.com/cms_monitoring_aws.html
Doing the above for my aws accounts in checkmk will cost me more on “$0.01 per 1,000 metrics requested using GetMetricData API” ??
Has anyone faced similar issue?

Hi Leo,
if I read the the AWS cost calculation right, then the GetMetricData costs.
But the question is how big is your system and how many GetMetricData requests do you have?
The most important thing is interval you request your data and how many metrics you request.
Do you tested it with your system? With the free tier it is possible to get the basic metrics with 5 minute interval.

→ You can get started with Amazon CloudWatch for free. Most AWS Services (EC2, S3, Kinesis, etc.) vend metrics automatically for free to CloudWatch. Many applications should be able to operate within these free tier limits.
Best regards
Andreas

Hello Andreas,
I have just enabled the AWS monitoring and did not do any additional setup/configure at my CheckMK or AWS account for fetching info. I just created an entry in datasource program and choose EC2, RDS for two regions. As per the billing happened to me, just enabling the EC2 in data source program fetches data using “GetMetricData API” for monitoring and this is by default I guess.
