title: How do I modify AWS cloudwatch metrics for memory?
body: <p>I have a cluster of Elastic Beanstalk instances running Wordpress. RAM utilization is high, around 93% because of some plugins that we're running (a different issue altogether). However, every time one of the instances hits 90+% RAM utilization it kicks the instance into a "degraded" state and kicks it out of the cluster.</p>
  
  <p>I can't for the life of me find a way to modify this RAM utilization check. Ideally I'd be able to bump the RAM utilization threshold up to 95% or so....how do I change this metric, disable it, or remove it altogether?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>Here is a screenshot of the elastic beanstalk Health screen. I may have jumped to conclusions assuming it's a Cloudwatch metric but the concept is still the same...how do I up the threshold?</p>
  
  <p>Of particular note, the instance status and the message beneath it.</p>
