Introduction
AWS OpsWorks Stacks helps manage applications and servers on AWS and on-premises.
Every Opsworks stack contains one or more layers, each of which represents a stack component,
such as a load balancer or a set of application servers.
When working with AWS OpsWorks Stacks layers, keep the following in mind:
- Each layer in a stack must have at least one instance and can optionally have multiple instances.
- Each instance in a stack must be a member of at least one layer, except for registered instances.
- Instances cannot be configured directly, except for some basic settings such as the SSH key and hostname. You must create and configure an appropriate layer, and add the instance to the layer.
Setup
To set up the OpsRamp AWS integration and discover the AWS service,
go to AWS Integration Discovery Profile and select OpsWorks Stack.
Metrics
| OpsRamp Metric | Metric Display Name | Unit | Aggregation Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| aws_opsworks_cpu_idle | CPU Idle | None | Average | Percentage of time that the CPU is idle. |
| aws_opsworks_cpu_nice | CPU Nice | None | Average | Percentage of time that the CPU is handling processes with a positive nice value, which have a lower scheduling priority. |
| aws_opsworks_cpu_steal | CPU Steal | None | Average | As AWS allocates hypervisor CPU resources among increasing numbers of instances, virtualization load rises which can affect how often the hypervisor can perform requested work on an instance. cpu_steal measures percentage of time that an instance is waiting for the hypervisor to allocate physical CPU resources. |
| aws_opsworks_cpu_system | CPU System | None | Average | Percentage of time that the CPU is handling system operations. |
| aws_opsworks_cpu_user | CPU User | None | Average | Percentage of time that the CPU is handling user operations. |
| aws_opsworks_cpu_waitio | CPU Wait IO | None | Average | Percentage of time that the CPU is waiting for input/output operations. |
| aws_opsworks_memory_buffers | Memory Buffers | None | Average | Amount of buffered memory. |
| aws_opsworks_memory_cached | Memory Cached | None | Average | Amount of cached memory. |
| aws_opsworks_memory_free | Memory Free | None | Average | Amount of free memory. |
| aws_opsworks_memory_swap | Memory Swap | None | Average | Amount of swap space. |
| aws_opsworks_memory_total | Memory Total | None | Average | Total amount of memory. |
| aws_opsworks_memory_used | Memory Used | None | Average | Amount of memory in use. |
| aws_opsworks_load_1 | Load Over 1min | None | Average | Load averaged over a one-minute window. |
| aws_opsworks_load_5 | Load Over 5min | None | Average | Load averaged over a five-minute window. |
| aws_opsworks_load_15 | Load Over 15min | None | Average | Load averaged over a 15-minute window. |
| aws_opsworks_procs | Number Of Active Processes | None | Average | Number of active processes. |
