how to create custom metrics in AWS ec2 for monitoring memory utilization of an instance

Question

I would like to know how to create custom metrics to monitor my aws EC2 instance? I want to monitor the memory utilization of my instance

I know its by creating custom metrics using power-shell but whenever i try it it says install .net SDK for the scripts i use .\mon-put-metrics-mem.ps1 for creating the custom metric.

need to know whether there is any settings or configurations while installing the aws .net SDK utility?

The location of the SDK has changed

Change the following line:

$SDKLibraryLocation = dir C:\Windows\Assembly -Recurse -Filter "AWSSDK.dll"

to:

$SDKLibraryLocation = dir "C:\Program Files (x86)\AWS Tools\PowerShell\AWSPowerShell" -Recurse -Filter "AWSSDK.dll"
