How can I see memory metrics for EC2 instances?
To enable memory, and many other performance metrics, for AWS EC2 instances, you must first have the CloudWatch Agent installed and configured on your EC2 instance. Refer to Amazon's documentation on deploying and configuring the agent. Once configured, Goliath Multi-Cloud Monitor will automatically begin picking up memory metrics and displaying them within widgets in the dashboard.
Do I need to install an agent?
Goliath Multi-Cloud Monitor connects directly to each service to collect metrics using available APIs - there is no need to install an agent. Once an environment is added, Goliath Multi-Cloud Monitor will begin collecting data automatically via the APIs. In some cases you may need to make use of an agent made available from the vendor to enable some metrics (CloudWatch Agents and EC2 instances for example).
How is Goliath Multi-Cloud Monitor Billed?
Customers are billed monthly based on usage for each virtual machine or desktop monitored (for AWS this includes individual WorkSpaces or EC2 Instances). View the Billing page within the app for pricing and plan details as well as payment options.
Does Goliath Multi-Cloud Monitor support additional languages?
Currently English is the only language that is supported and displayed on the GMCM user interface. Additional languages, including German and Spanish, will be included in later versions of the product.
