Monitoring managed node performance

You can use Fleet Manager, a tool in AWS Systems Manager, to view performance data about your managed nodes in real time. The performance data is retrieved from performance counters.

The following performance counters are available in Fleet Manager:

  • CPU utilization

  • Disk input/output (I/O) utilization

  • Network traffic

  • Memory usage

Note

Fleet Manager uses Session Manager, a tool in AWS Systems Manager, to retrieve performance data. For Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, the instance profile attached to your managed instances must provide permissions for Session Manager to use this feature. For more information about adding Session Manager permissions to an instance profile, see Add Session Manager permissions to an existing IAM role.

To view performance data with Fleet Manager

  1. Open the AWS Systems Manager console at https://eusc-de-east-1.console.amazonaws-eusc.eu/systems-manager/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Fleet Manager.

  3. Choose the button next to the managed node whose performance you want to monitor.

  4. Choose View details.

  5. Choose Tools, Performance counters.
