AWS ebs metricsetedit
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) sends data points to CloudWatch for
several metrics. Most EBS volumes automatically send five-minute metrics to
CloudWatch only when the volume is attached to an instance. This aws ebs
metricset collects these Cloudwatch metrics for monitoring purposes.
AWS Permissionsedit
Some specific AWS permissions are required for IAM user to collect AWS EBS metrics.
