Monitoring, metrics and alerting

[ScottGuymer]

We are seeing increasing interest and need for a solution to help monitor the resources deployed by this module.

There have already been a number of interactions around this

• Project Monitoring, metrics and alerting
• https://github.com/philips-labs/terraform-aws-github-runner/discussions/1940

And some PRs

• [ ] #1972
• [ ] #2024

This is also something we are interested on at Philips and want to create a solution that is useful for the community where needed.

We will share more info on this as we align further.

In addition to this, would cpu and memory monitoring and alerting through cloudwatch be of interest?

The possibility of having metrics (alerts too?) would be so cool! 👍

Guys, do you expect soon get this implemented into main?

@razor54 just being able to see memory metrics would be enough for me. ATM, I am having an issue with the runners staying hanged randomly and the deafult metrics for ec2 instances is not helping at all for me to troubleshoot the issue. I tried configuring the cloudwatch agent by creating my own template file but it did not work. Any tips?
