I need to enable ELB monitoring with checkmk but after adding the aws account i only get elb summary. can anyone help how i can configure checkmk to monitor the metrics of an ELB.
If the native check doesn’t give what you’re looking for you can always develop your own.
Most likely you will be calling CloudWatch API, sending some dimensions, and getting data back.
Take a look at boto3 documentation:
https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/index.html
i haven’t developed anything in checkmk please share if you have example for any service you have configured. Also if we will need to call cloudwatch getmetric api then why not we use cloudwatch itself for monitoring. because using cloudwatch getmetric api will have its cost anyway. please correct if am wrong.
Following the custom check implementation:
Regarding your costs question, yes it will have costs, but not significant costs. If you like cloudwatch console and don’t mind having to jump between tools, just use different tools for different purposes.
IMO I don’t like to manage lots of tools, that require time and time is also $$, so I always try to aggregate as much stuff as possible.
