I recently set up the CloudWatch agent on my Lightsail instance to monitor RAM usage. However, when I check the CloudWatch console, I can't see the RAM metrics at all. I followed the same procedure on my EC2 instances, and everything seemed to work perfectly there. What could be the issue with configuring CloudWatch metrics for my AWS Lightsail machine?

It sounds like you might want to check the CloudWatch agent logs for any issues. Sometimes, the agent might not be set to log properly on Lightsail. You can also refer to the AWS Knowledge Center for guidance on monitoring with CloudWatch and troubleshoot the CloudWatch agent with their documentation.
Good point! Make sure the agent is actually sending the data. Enabling logging on the Lightsail instance can help you figure out if everything's running smoothly.
