Ensure detailed monitoring is enabled for EC2 instances
Detailed monitoring provides 1-minute metrics for EC2 instances instead of 5-minute intervals, enabling faster detection of issues.
Security Impact
Without detailed monitoring, performance issues and anomalies may not be detected in a timely manner.
How to Remediate
Enable detailed monitoring when launching instances or on existing instances via console or CLI.
