Use UnmonitorInstances with an Amazon SDK or CLI

The following code examples show how to use UnmonitorInstances.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:

    Aws::EC2::EC2Client ec2Client(clientConfiguration);

    unrequest.AddInstanceIds(instanceId);
    unrequest.SetDryRun(true);

    if (undryRunOutcome.IsSuccess()) {
        std::cerr

Amazon CLI

To disable detailed monitoring for an instance

This example command disables detailed monitoring for the specified instance.

Command:

aws ec2 unmonitor-instances --instance-ids i-1234567890abcdef0

Output:

{
  "InstanceMonitorings": [
      {
          "InstanceId": "i-1234567890abcdef0",
          "Monitoring": {
              "State": "disabling"
          }
      }
  ]
}

  try {
    const { InstanceMonitorings } = await client.send(command);
    const instanceMonitoringsList = InstanceMonitorings.map(
      (im) =>
        ` • Detailed monitoring state for ${im.InstanceId} is ${im.Monitoring.State}.`,
