I wonder, how to setup AWS cloud watch for RAM and EBS capacity usages?

As I have not seen any metrics for the same.

I have seen some python scripts which need to setup as CRON, is that safe in respect to GDPR?

PS I am successfully able to setup AWS cloud watch for CPU usages.

    The answer from John is best, but there are older [scripts from Amazon](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/mon-scripts.html) that still work fine. – Tim Jan 17 '18 at 07:53

You will need to install the CloudWatch Agent in your instance. Both Linux and Windows is supported.
