Performance counters not showing up in AWS CloudWatch

Question

I'm having issues with getting performance counters to show up in Aws CloudWatch. I followed the steps in this post and below is CloudWatch json file. Anyone can point out what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you

  "EngineConfiguration": {
    "Components": [
      {
        "FullName": "AWS.EC2.Windows.CloudWatch.PerformanceCounterComponent.PerformanceCounterInputComponent,AWS.EC2.Windows.CloudWatch",
        "Id": "PerformanceCounterMemory",
        "Parameters": {

        }
      },
      {

You seem to be missing the NameSpace parameter on your CloudWatchLogs component.

This is what mine looks like:

{
    "FullName": "AWS.EC2.Windows.CloudWatch.CloudWatch.CloudWatchOutputComponent,AWS.EC2.Windows.CloudWatch",
    "Id": "CloudWatchLogs",
    "Parameters": {
        "NameSpace": "PerformanceMonitor",
        "Region": "eu-west-1"
    }
}

MisterSmith, I tried your suggestion but it didn't work. – KennyT Mar 15 '18 at 22:16
@kennyT - the namespace line is the only difference I can see between your config and mine. Could be a permissions issue? – MisterSmith Mar 16 '18 at 07:13
