Graph Metrics for Your Instances
After you launch an instance, you can go to the Amazon EC2 console and view the instance's monitoring graphs. They're displayed when you select the instance on the Instances page in the EC2 Dashboard. A Monitoring tab is displayed next to the instance's Description tab. The following graphs are available:
Average CPU Utilization (Percent)
Average Disk Reads (Bytes)
Average Disk Writes (Bytes)
Maximum Network In (Bytes)
Maximum Network Out (Bytes)
Summary Disk Read Operations (Count)
Summary Disk Write Operations (Count)
Summary Status (Any)
Summary Status Instance (Count)
Summary Status System (Count)
Each graph is based on one of the available Amazon EC2 metrics. For more information about the metrics and the data they provide to the graphs, see List the Available CloudWatch Metrics for Your Instances.
You can also use the CloudWatch console to graph metric data generated by Amazon EC2 and other AWS services to make it easier to see what's going on. You can use the following procedures to graph metrics in CloudWatch.
