I am attempting to ingest AWS data using metricbeat aws module. I am not getting configuration errors, but I am however getting timeout errors when running metricbeat test modules command.
aws...
cloudwatch...
error... ERROR timeout waiting for an event
aws...
cloudwatch...
error... ERROR timeout waiting for an event
I looked in the logs and cannot seem to find any logs to help me troubleshoot this problem. I verified IAM permissions based on documentation as well.
Here is my current aws.yml configuration file:
