使用 Terraform 创建的 CWAgent Metric 警报未收集数据点（保持数据不足）

Question

我已经使用 Terraform 创建了一个针对内存利用率的 CloudWatch 警报，但该警报不会移动到OK状态（保持在INSUFFICIENT_DATA）。但是，当我从 AWS 管理控制台手动创建具有相同精确配置的相同警报时，它移至该OK状态，并且我看到了数据点。

我已在尝试创建警报的 EC2 实例中成功安装了 CloudWatch Agent，并且可以在 CloudWatch Metrics 部分中看到指标。

我的地形代码：

resource "aws_cloudwatch_metric_alarm" "memory" {
  alarm_name = "memory-utilization-alarm-${var.env}"
  comparison_operator = "GreaterThanOrEqualToThreshold"
  evaluation_periods  = "1"
  metric_name = "mem_used_percent"
  namespace = "CWAgent"
  period = "300"
  statistic = "Average"
  threshold = "${var.alarms_memory_threshold}"
  alarm_description = "This metric monitors ec2 memory utilization"
  alarm_actions = [ "${aws_sns_topic.sns_topic.arn}" ]

  dimensions = {
    InstanceId = "${var.instance_id}"
    ImageId = "${var.ami_id}"
  }

  tags = {
    Environment = "${var.env}"
    Project = "${var.project}"
    Provisioner="cloudwatch"
    Name = "${local.name}.memory"
  }
}

mem_used_percentCloudwatch 代理的指标有 3 个维度：InstanceId、ImageId和InstanceType。AWS 用户指南中当前未列出每个指标的维度，但您可以使用以下 AWS CLI 命令找到这些维度：

$ aws cloudwatch list-metrics --namespace CWAgent --metric-name mem_used_percent --query 'Metrics[0].Dimensions[].Name'
[
    "InstanceId", 
    "ImageId", 
    "InstanceType"
]

要修复警报，您需要更改警报定义以包含维度InstanceType：

resource "aws_cloudwatch_metric_alarm" "memory" {
  alarm_name = "memory-utilization-alarm-${var.env}"
  comparison_operator = "GreaterThanOrEqualToThreshold"
  evaluation_periods  = "1"
  metric_name = "mem_used_percent"
  namespace = "CWAgent"
  period = "300"
  statistic = "Average"
  threshold = "${var.alarms_memory_threshold}"
  alarm_description = "This metric monitors ec2 memory utilization"
  alarm_actions = [ "${aws_sns_topic.sns_topic.arn}" ]

  dimensions = {
    InstanceId = "${var.instance_id}"
    ImageId = "${var.ami_id}"
    InstanceType = "${var.instance_type}"
  }

  tags = {
    Environment = "${var.env}"
    Project = "${var.project}"
    Provisioner="cloudwatch"
    Name = "${local.name}.memory"
  }
}
