AWS Elastic Beanstalk monitoring

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that gives you the option of deploying and auto-scaling applications and services.

As this type of installation depends heavily on user customizations, there isn't any set of steps that will work in all scenarios. The following aims to provide an overview of the entire process, with examples to help you create your own deployment.

Prerequisites

Locate the ONEAGENT_INSTALLER_SCRIPT_URL. This information is shared during Dynatrace OneAgent installation.

To get your ONEAGENT_INSTALLER_SCRIPT_URL

In Dynatrace Hub, select OneAgent.
Select Set up > Linux.
Determine the installer script URL and token from the UI-provided wget command:

Access to the AWS console

For configurations where OneAgent is already part of your application deployment, you don't have to manually install OneAgent or restart servers to enable service monitoring.

Download OneAgent

In Dynatrace Hub, select OneAgent.
Select Set up > Windows or Linux. For more information, see the OneAgent installation instructions for Windows or Linux.

Customize your installation

Make sure the configuration files are properly formatted YAML files.
Don't use tabs for indentation. Only spaces are allowed.
The Elastic Beanstalk extension script file names are important—the Amazon interpreter executes them in alphabetical order.

Configure network zones optional

To configure network zones, use the following argument: --set-network-zone=<your.network.zone>. See network zones for more information.

Monitoring consumption

For AWS Elastic Beanstalk, monitoring consumption is based on hosts units. See Application and Infrastructure Monitoring (Host Units) for details.
