Extrmely useful plugin and excellent support

I have incorporated this plugin with our existing nagios setup and it has been very useful.
It works exactly as expected and makes it easier to have all the metrics monitored.
Very easy to setup. Needed a little bit of testing etc.
Here are the example syntaxes for all the AWS components.

For ELB
RUBYOPT=rubygems ruby ~/check_cloudwatch_status.rb -a checkcheck-892345671.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com -i checkcheck -f ec2_credentials.cfg -L RequestCount -S Sum

As I was informed by Fred, you can also use -S Sum,Maximum

For RDS

RUBYOPT=rubygems ruby ~/check_cloudwatch_status.rb -a checkcheck-892345671.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com -i checkcheck -f ec2_credentials.cfg -D DiskQueueDepth

EC2 example is as given in the description.

Thank you Fred.
