                                  Possible units are MB, GB or TB (defaults to MB if none is specified). (default "20Gb")
  -w, --warn-bucket-size string   Warning threshold for the size of the specified bucket. Alerts if the size is greater than the warning threshold.
                                  Possible units are MB, GB or TB (defaults to MB if none is specified). (default "10Gb")

Authentication

Create a new IAM account for API access, add the required **read-only permissions, and check can monitor resources on that account.

Permission EC2:

arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEC2ReadOnlyAccess

Permission Cloudfront:

arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/CloudFrontReadOnlyAccess

Permission S3:

arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess

You can use the common AWS environment variables for the check, but we recommend storing the credentials in the standard AWS locations on disk.

Storing Credentials

By default, the check uses the config and credential storage of the AWS CLI.

~/.aws/credentials

The INI section header represents the credential profile you can pass to check_cloud_aws.

[default]
aws_access_key_id=eXaMPleID
aws_secret_access_key=SeCrEtExAmPleKey

~/.aws/config

The region setting here influences the default region of check_cloud_aws, which you can override.

[default]
region = eu-central-1
