AWS/EC2 dashboard issue about grafana-aws-cloudwatch-dashboards HOT 12 CLOSED

ec2_instance_attribute uses probably EC2 DescribeInstances, so you need additional EC2 permissions (not only cloudwacth). I don't know which one - please dig into cloudwatch source code, add full EC2 read only, pay for commercial support, ....

from grafana-aws-cloudwatch-dashboards.

You have to specify values for all dimensions - select which instanceId stat you want to see.

Hi againe when I told there is an issue with getting InstanceId I was meant that

"query": "ec2_instance_attribute($region, InstanceId, {})",

return nothing to InstanceId array

from grafana-aws-cloudwatch-dashboards.

So you don't have any instances in region us-east-1. If you have, then your cloudwatch datasource is not configured properly -> please follow official doc http://docs.grafana.org/datasources/cloudwatch/

from grafana-aws-cloudwatch-dashboards.

Works for me:

Grafana v4.0.0-pre1 (commit: 578507a)

from grafana-aws-cloudwatch-dashboards.

Guys, have no clue what is the root cause of my issue, but I found workeraund - getting InstanceId array with other query:

dimension_values($region, AWS/EC2, CPUUtilization, InstanceId)

from grafana-aws-cloudwatch-dashboards.

Do you have a problem with ec2_instance_attribute($region, InstanceId, {}) ?

from grafana-aws-cloudwatch-dashboards.

yes - correct

from grafana-aws-cloudwatch-dashboards.

So I guess, you don't have EC2 permissions (for ec2_instance_attribute) and you have only cloudwatch permissions (dimension_values).

from grafana-aws-cloudwatch-dashboards.

So do I need more permissions than

 "cloudwatch:GetMetricData",
 "cloudwatch:GetMetricStatistics",
 "cloudwatch:ListMetrics"
