cloudwatch agent not sending data

[sdahlbac]

RancherOS Version: (ros os version)
sudo ros -v version v1.5.5 from os image rancher/os:v1.5.5

Where are you running RancherOS? (docker-machine, AWS, GCE, baremetal, etc.)
AWS EC2 rancher2 cluster

I have unsuccessfully been trying to run https://hub.docker.com/r/amazon/cloudwatch-agent
but do not get any metrics reported. Am I doing something wrong, or is this fundamentally not going to work?
