Package: nagios-cloudwatch-plugin
This plugin for checks AWS CloudWatch metrics. It uses the popularbotolibrary to gather metric values. This plugin does not currently have a means of
directly supplying AWS credentials - for this, consult the botodocs.Setuppip install nagios-cloudwatch-plugin/usr/local/bin/check_cloudwatch.py -h:usage: check_cloudwatch.py [-h] -n NAMESPACE -m METRIC [-d DIMENSIONS]
