Which version and configuration are you using? I'm assuming Sohos UTM 9 with autoscaling enabled?
I'm using a standalone Sophos UTM 9 and had to jump through a few hoops to push CloudWatch metrics.
I'm not sure how the autoscaling Sophos is setup but you might have the AWS scripts installed somewhere - they might be named like mine.
1. Search for mon-get-instance-stats.pl or mon-put-instance-data.pl.
2. Test a put to memory metrics with the command: ./mon-put-instance-data.pl --mem-util --verify --verbose
3. Confirm that the correct role is being referenced or referenced at all. Roles can only be applied at instance invocation so it could be that you have a role and and policy assigned but it is not actually applied to your instance.
4. You should get a successful verification.
Hopefully this points you in the right direction.
Your CloudWatch logs aren't working probably because Sophos has jacked it up - at least in the version that I tested Firmware version: 9.408-4 and 9.409-9.
I reviewed some of their CloudFormation templates located at https://github.com/sophos-iaas/aws-cf-templates
Looking at the User Data code there is a line that sets up awslogs:
"date +'UserData awslogs agent setup start %c' >> /tmp/user_data.log\n", "/usr/local/bin/awslogs-agent-setup.py -n -r ", { "Ref": "AWS::Region" }, " -c /etc/cloud/awslogs.conf >> /tmp/user_data.log\n"
The setup command runs fine but it actually doesn't setup awslogs because if you try to query the status of the service, you get:
Same story here:
Just another example of how this product "kind of works" on AWS but was not made for AWS.
