 Monitor your cloud computing resources
Amazon Web Services (AWS) delivers your business-critical services and InterMapper makes sure your services are continually operational and therefore cost-effective.
Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) CloudWatch technology collects performance metrics for the virtual servers running in its cloud. InterMapper queries these metrics to monitor the status of an Amazon ec2 Instance. Metrics include:
- CPU Utilization (percent used)
- Disk read (bytes per second)
- Disk read operations
- Disk write operations
- Network out (bytes per second)
- Network in (bytes per second)
With InterMapper cloud monitoring you’ll:
- ensure that auto-scaling is appropriate to your actual cloud compute needs
- locate virtual servers that are “lost in the cloud”
- diagnose the root cause of virtual server failures
- monitor software installed on virtual servers to smooth configuration management over a large number of servers
- save time on monitoring tool set-up and management with automated agent deployment

Free InterMapper Probes for Cloudwatch
Dartware has created a set of InterMapper probes that monitor your Amazon EC2 AMI to show you critical operational statistics for your resources in the cloud. These are a no-cost add-on to InterMapper.
How does it work?
InterMapper probes are software plugins that test a resource on the network. These CloudWatch probes monitor and alert on operational statistics (CPU, disk I/O, network traffic) to show the performance of your resources in the cloud.
You simply download these probes, install them in your copy of InterMapper and you're set to monitor all your Amazon AMIs. To learn more about these probes read the Monitoring Amazon EC2 with CloudWatch API tech note.
