#!/bin/bash

# $1: Region
# $2: Namespace
# $3: Dimensions
# $4: Metric Name
# $5: Start Time (before n min)
# $6: Period (min)
# $7: Statistics (SampleCount, Average, Sum, Minimum, Maximum)
# $8: Output value when the result is null

if [ $# -lt 7 ]; then
	exit 1
fi


export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=


output() {
	read ret
	if [ $ret == "null" ]; then
		if [ $1 ]; then echo $1; fi
		exit 1
	else
		echo $ret
	fi
}

/usr/local/bin/aws cloudwatch get-metric-statistics --region "$1" --namespace AWS/"$2" --dimensions "$3" --metric-name "$4" --start-time=`date --date '-'"$5"' min' --utc +%FT%TZ` --end-time=`date --utc +%FT%TZ` --period `echo $((60*$6))` --statistics "$7" | jq '.Datapoints | sort_by(.Timestamp)[-1:][0].'"$7" | output $8

Hi Erien,

Do you have the template for the above script to associate with a host in Zabbix or how do I use this script with a host in Zabbix. Sorry I am pretty new to Zabbix and eagerly learning it..
