Add AWS Cloudwatch Integration with pfSense Plus
0%
Description
Windows and Linux devices allow for integration with AWS Cloudwatch so that you can pull metrics and data directly from AWS for display within device metrics. This would be helpful in Plus.

Adding the cloudwatch integration will allow pfsense to send data to cloudwatch directly.
Users hosting pfsense in AWS would be able to create unified alarms and alerting within Cloudwatch, which would be extremely helpful.
This should also include access to conntrack_allowance_available, which is an AWS ENI hypervisor status which outputs the AWS-side state table connections available. This is made accessible by AWS to the OS via Cloudwatch Agent or custom integrations and is a key metric for anyone hosting a firewall like pfsense on AWS, since this table being full can cause partial or full outages for users with traffic traversing the firewall.
Access to conntrack_allowance_available is the key metric for us.
