AWS AutoScaling Monitoring Extension
Captures AutoScaling statistics from Amazon CloudWatch and displays them in the AppDynamics Metric Browser.
This extension works only with the standalone machine agent.
Note: By default, the Machine agent can only send a fixed number of metrics to the controller. This extension can potentially report thousands of metrics, so to change this limit, please follow the instructions mentioned here.
Note: Please avoid using tab (\t) when editing yaml files. You may want to validate the yaml file using a yaml validator.

To set an encrypted awsAccessKey and awsSecretKey in config.yaml, follow the steps below:
Run command:
java -cp appd-exts-commons-1.1.2.jar com.appdynamics.extensions.crypto.Encryptor EncryptionKey CredentialToEncrypt
For example:
java -cp "appd-exts-commons-1.1.2.jar" com.appdynamics.extensions.crypto.Encryptor test myAwsAccessKey
java -cp "appd-exts-commons-1.1.2.jar" com.appdynamics.extensions.crypto.Encryptor test myAwsSecretKey
Set the decryptionKey field in config.yaml with the encryption key used, as well as the resulting encrypted awsAccessKey and awsSecretKey in their respective fields.
Typical metric path: Application Infrastructure Performance|<Tier>|Custom Metrics|Amazon AutoScaling|<Account Name>|<Region>|Group|<group id> followed by the metrics defined in the link below:
