A company receives an alert from an Amazon CloudWatch alarm. The alarm indicates that a web application that is running on Amazon EC2 instances is not responding to requests. The EC2 instances have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system and are in an Auto Scaling group. The Auto Scaling group has a minimum capacity of 2 and a maximum capacity of 5.
An investigation reveals that the web application is experiencing out-of-memory errors. The company adds memory to the web application and wants to track operating system memory utilization. A CloudWatch memory metric does not currently exist for the EC2 instances in the Auto Scaling group.
What should a SysOps administrator do to provide a CloudWatch memory metric for the EC2 instances?
