How to get a chart for memory usage in AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

How to get memory chart in AWS EBS? Lots of choice there but memory is not one of them. The setup used includes a load balancer.

Solution 1:

The default metrics you see are the ones visible by the hypervisor. Memory utilisation along with for example disk space utilisation is an OS-level metric, not hypervisor-level metric, and to capture it in CloudWatch you’ll have to install CloudWatch Agent on your instance. Then you’ll get access to many more metrics.

Hope that helps :)
