How to resolve Sprinto check for monitoring AWS Elasticsearch cluster CPU utilization
About
Sprinto Check: AWS Elasticsearch cluster CPU utilization should be monitored
Upon integrating your AWS account with Sprinto, the platform fetches the list of services from your AWS account. If you are using AWS Elasticsearch and have not created a monitoring alert for the metric CPUUtilization, Sprinto activates the above-mentioned check for all Elasticsearch clusters under your account.
Note: At this time, our platform does not support AWS CloudWatch Composite Alarms or Math-Based Alarms.
This means you cannot create alarms that:
Combine multiple alarms using logical conditions (e.g., ALARM1 AND ALARM2)
Use metric math expressions (e.g., calculating averages or deltas across metrics)
Purpose
Monitoring the CPU utilization of your AWS Elasticsearch cluster is essential to ensure optimal performance and resource utilization. Sprinto sends notifications if the CPU utilization surpasses the defined threshold, allowing you to take proactive measures to maintain optimal performance.
How to Resolve
To address this check, follow the steps below to create an AWS CloudWatch alert for monitoring AWS Elasticsearch cluster CPU utilization.
Before you Begin
Ensure that you have "Admin" access on the AWS account to create alerts.
Confirm that you have AWS Elasticsearch clusters created on your AWS account for which you will create the alert.
Log in to Sprinto as an administrator.
Create Monitoring Alert
Log in to your AWS console using your credentials.
Navigate to the CloudWatch web service.
Go to Alarms > In alarm, and click Create alarm.
Click Select metric.
On the Select metric page, choose the AWS/Elasticsearch namespace and select the metric CPUUtilization.
Specify the metric and conditions to define the alert trigger point, then click Next.
On the configure action page:
Create a new topic: Enter the topic name and email address for alert notifications.
Add notification: Select the created SNS topic and click Add notification.
Enter a name and description for the created alert, then click Next.
Preview your created alarm and edit any parameters if required, then click Create alarm.
Once the monitoring alert is created on CloudWatch for AWS Elasticsearch cluster CPU utilization, Sprinto retrieves the changes, and the Sprinto check status is set to "Passing."
