Have cloudwatch alarms keep going off on EC2 instance for high cpu. Looks like it auto scales but then goes off again in another hour. How can this be troubleshooted?
Its high cpu over 95 percent. Im just trying to get the cpu down to normal. How can I see on AWS what is causing this?

Is it a Linux or Windows instance? Can you log on and run an app to see what is taking up the CPU time? For Linux something like "top" and the "task manager" for Windows for example.
What type of instance is it? Is it a micro instance? If it is you might be looking at "cpu steal time" issues.
