AWS+OpsWorks: How to enable detailed monitoring for EC2 instance with OpsWorks

230 views Asked by At

Is there a way to enable detailed monitoring for AWS EC2 instance using OpsWorks? I know this can be done with cloud formation but I'm using OpsWorks.

For the person who down voted. I did google and searched stackoverflow for a solution. I spent over two weeks searching and testing this before posting this question on stackoverlow. This is my first time using stackoverflow for asking a question and did not realize I had to add such information.

Opsworks by default doesn't enable detailed monitoring. You can achieve the same using chef recipes as part of setup
