## Monitor memory and disk metrics

* **Important**\
  The CloudWatch monitoring scripts are deprecated. We strongly recommend that you use the CloudWatch agent to collect metrics and logs. For more information, see [Collect Metrics from Amazon EC2 Instances and On-Premises Servers with the CloudWatch Agent](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/Install-CloudWatch-Agent.html) in the *Amazon CloudWatch User Guide*.\
  If you are still migrating from the deprecated monitoring scripts to the agent, and require information about the monitoring scripts, see [Deprecated: Collect metrics using the CloudWatch monitoring scripts](https://github.com/kevinslin/aws-reference-notes/blob/main/services/amazon_ebs/monitoring-scripts-intro.md).
