A new addition to Check_MK is the ability to monitor AWS infrastructure and cost.
You need at least Check_MK version 1.5.0. We will pull the new package and install it on Debian instance.
# wget https://mathias-kettner.de/support/1.5.0p12/check-mk-raw-1.5.0p12_0.stretch_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i check-mk-raw-1.5.0p12_0.stretch_amd64.deb
# su - sitename
OMD[sitename]:~$ omd stop
OMD[sitename]:~$ omd update
OMD[sitename]:~$ omd start
Follow the official instructions here.
The instructions have one error though:
CRIT - AWSSectionsUSEast: An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the GetCostAndUsage operation: User: arn:aws:iam::9999999:user/check-mk is not authorized to perform: ce:GetCostAndUsage on resource: arn:aws:ce:us-east-1:9999999:/GetCostAndUsageCRIT, AWSSectionsGeneric: No exceptions
If you stumble upon it, edit the created IAM policy in AWS, by adding the "ce:*":
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Stmt333333",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"aws-portal:ViewAccount",
"aws-portal:ViewBilling",
"aws-portal:ViewPaymentMethods",
"aws-portal:ViewUsage",
"ce:*"
],
"Resource": [
"*"
]
}
]
}
The issue is observed in other solutions that use Python boto3 library (AWS library).
