Hi ,

I'm trying to choose specific region to specify the instances which includes in the chosen region only .

i used this section , but it doesn't work:

```
 - module: aws
     period: 10s
     metricsets:
          - ec2
    default_region: eu-central-1
    regions:
          - eu-central-1

```

thanks

Hi @Samerd, sorry I missed this question. Do you still have this issue? What Metricbeat version are you using?  
The config below with `regions` config option should do what you need:

```auto
- module: aws
  period: 10s
  metricsets:
    - ec2
  regions:
    - eu-central-1

```

Do you see metrics coming into Elasticsearch from all AWS regions or just no data showed up at all?
