Cloud - AWS - S3 CloudWatch Opspack (Deprecated)

Deprecation Notice

This Opspack is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. It may not be present in your installation of Opsview.

Note

Please use the AWS S3 Opspack to monitor AWS S3 instead.

Amazon Simple Storage Service is storage for the Internet. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers. Amazon S3 has a simple web services interface that you can use to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.

What You Can Monitor Copied

Opsview Monitor’s AWS S3 Opspack provides all of the latest metrics to track your S3 buckets. Service checks included in the Opspack allow for tracking of GET and PUT requests across each bucket. S3 Request metrics can help you easily identify operational issues.

Note: This Opspack knows when it was last run, so when testing the results in the troubleshoot section, you will need to wait a couple of minutes each time you recheck the results. The time frame that is searched for is based around the last time the Opspack ran, so running it too quickly will result in no data being found and the service check going into an unknown

Setup and Configuration Copied

Add the Host Template Copied

Add the Cloud - AWS - S3 CloudWatch Host Template to your Opsview Monitor host. If the resource you’re monitoring has no hostname or public IP, then open the Advanced settings pane and change Host Check Command to Always assumed to be UP.

Note

For more information, refer to the documentation on Adding Host Templates to Hosts.

Add and configure the variables for the host Copied

Variable Description
AWS_CLOUDWATCH_AUTHENTICATION Authentication details for CloudWatch. The Value is not used and therefore can be set to anything. Either override the File Path with the location of your credentials file, or override the Access Key and Secret Key arguments (this approach is recommended as the values will be encrypted). Optionally, override the Region (default: eu-west-1) with the location of your instance if you are not using the default region.

Opsview Cloud

For Opsview Cloud customers, please contact ITRS Support for assistance with a credentials file, as it requires Orchestrator access.
AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME Bucket name to monitor from AWS

Note

For more information, refer to the documentation on Adding Variables to Hosts.
