I would like to monitor the following on Amazon ec2 instances loaded with amazon linux, every X minutes :

disk statistics
process stats (similar to what top does)
ram usage
check if my scripts are running fine

should I use my own scripts and things or are there any tools that already achieve this ?
I searched and there was a suggestion about munin

what seems to be the better approach ?

  • can any of the mentioned softwares give me number of open handles in linux ?

I've done it with Munin.. It's easy. Just allow port 4949 through the firewall/Security Group to your munin server, and everything just works. (Remember to add the munin server to munin-node.conf on the EC2 node)

Can I ask why you do not want to use Cloudwatch?

It has a free level (15 monitoring interval).

  • It doesn't give process statistics like, how much memory a particular process is using, is the system running absolutely fine, is my application stack i.e scripts and other services are running fine, etc.. And then, I guess we can do better by running our own scripts or third party tools like munin or nagios.
