    An Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group launches Amazon Linux EC2 instances and installs the Amazon CloudWatch agent to publish logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. The EC2 instances launch with an IAM role that has an IAM policy attached. The policy provides access to publish custom metrics to CloudWatch. The EC2 instances run in a private subnet inside a VPC The VPC provides access to the internet for private subnets through a NAT gateway.

    A security engineer notices that no logs are being published to CloudWatch Logs for the EC2 instances that the Auto Scaling group launches. The security engineer validates that the CloudWatch Logs agent is running and is configured properly on the EC2 instances.

    • Configure the IAM policy in use by the IAM role to have access to the required cloudwatch: API actions that will publish logs.
