Here are a few questions that recently came in about how Paglo works with the Amazon CloudWatch API.
Question
Does Paglo have auto discovery for Amazon EC2 instances?
Answer
Yes, our CloudWatch plugin (for the Paglo Crawler) will auto-discover every EC2 instance for which you have CloudWatch monitoring turned on.
NOTE: That the last bit is an important point: Paglo will only monitor EC2 instances that you have CloudWatch monitoring turned on via Amazon.
Question
Do you require a client install on monitored servers?
Answer
The answer here is the dreaded…Yes and No. It requires no install on monitored servers, but you need to be running the Paglo Crawler somewhere. It can run on a monitored server or a Win32 machine at your office.
