Overview

For Zabbix version: 6.2 and higher
The template to monitor AWS EC2, RDS and S3 instances by HTTP via Zabbix that works without any external scripts.

See Zabbix template operation for basic instructions.

Before using the template, you need to create an IAM policy for the Zabbix role in your AWS account with the necessary permissions.

Add the following required permissions to your Zabbix IAM policy in order to collect metrics.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Action": [
                "cloudwatch:Describe*",
                "cloudwatch:Get*",
                "cloudwatch:List*",
                "ec2:Describe*",
                "rds:Describe*",
                "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
                "s3:GetBucketLocation"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
