Bleemeo can also fetch metrics from CloudWatch and let you build dashboards with CloudWatch metrics and other Bleemeo metrics.
To configure AWS integration, you have in settings to go on the "AWS" tab and enter your AWS Access Key ID and AWS Secret Access Key. You can refer to AWS IAM documentation to create those API keys and configure the appropriate permissions to those keys. Permission needed are detailed below and depends on which metrics are activated.
Those API keys will allow Bleemeo to query your AWS infrastructure.
You can use toggle to choose with CloudWatch metrics you want to activate.
AWS CloudWatch have a free tier equivalent to $10 per month.
When configured, you will get additional metrics on your account that you can graph on Custom Dashboard.
We will detail here the permission needed and all metrics that are fetched from AWS CloudWatch and that you can use in your dashboard.

If you have Bleemeo agent running on your EC2 instance, Bleemeo agent will already sent all those metrics.
In such case, if you enable AWS EC2 integration those metrics will be sent twice: once from bleemeo-agent and once from AWS EC2 integration. We recommend only using Bleemeo agent.
