Explanation:
Configure the CloudWatch agent on the on-premises server by using IAM user credentials with permissions for CloudWatch
The CloudWatch agent enables you to do the following:
Collect system-level metrics from on-premises servers. These can include servers in a hybrid environment as well as servers not managed by AWS.
Collect logs from Amazon EC2 instances and on-premises servers, running either Linux or Windows Server.
To enable the CloudWatch agent to send data from an on-premises server, you must specify the access key and secret key of the IAM user that you created earlier.
