Licensing of Amazon cloud monitor instances in Applications Manager

Licensing of Amazon cloud monitor instances in Applications Manager

Licensing

  • Each Amazon monitor is considered a basic monitor and comes under the monitor count for licensing.
  • In Amazon monitor, discovery of all the supported services (EC2, RDS, S3, SNS, DynamoDB, ELB, SQS, Lambda, Beanstalk, and Billing information) is performed, among which S3, SNS and Billing information metrics come under the basic Amazon monitor for licensing (i.e., no separate license for S3, SNS & Billing).
  • Each individual instance of the following services (EC2, RDS, DynamoDB, ELB (ALB & NLB), SQS, Lambda, Beanstalk, etc.) is also considered a basic monitor (counted for license).

Example

Let us consider a scenario where a user has added the Amazon monitor by choosing all the supported services (EC2, RDS, S3, SNS, DynamoDB, ELB, SQS, Lambda, Beanstalk) with each AWS service having 2 instances in it.

Based on the above scenario, following would be the monitor count split-up:

  • Amazon monitor [including S3, SNS, Billing statistics] = 1
  • EC2 instances = 2
  • RDS databases = 2
  • DynamoDB databases = 2
  • ELB instances (ALB+NLB) = 4 (2+2) 
  • Lambda functions = 2
  • Beanstalk environments = 2
  • SQS Queues = 2

Total monitor count for licensing = 17

NotesNote: Licensing in Applications Manager applies only to individual monitors. Underlying resources such as disks are not licensed separately. Additionally, external options like account types, regions, and filters do not incur separate charges.
