This is an old question. New way is to use CloudWatch agent that supports both Windows and Linux: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/mon-scripts.html

@tfreeq, thanks for the link! "You can use the CloudWatch agent to collect both system metrics and log files from Amazon EC2 instances and on-premises servers. The agent supports both Windows Server and Linux, and enables you to select the metrics to be collected, including sub-resource metrics such as per-CPU core. We recommend that you use the agent to collect metrics and logs instead of using the deprecated monitoring scripts."
