AWS Elastic Beanstalk users often face limitations with default CloudWatch metrics, which only include CPU and Network, while missing critical metrics like Memory and Disk.
To enhance visibility into application performance, users can configure the CloudWatch agent in their Elastic Beanstalk VM to collect additional metrics, notably memory consumption.
Customizing the CloudWatch agent involves editing the Elastic Beanstalk zip bundle to include a cloudwatch.config file, allowing for tailored metrics collection based on the operating system.
Once configured, the CloudWatch agent can provide deeper insights into the performance and health of your Elastic Beanstalk environment, enabling better optimization decisions.
