Hi at all,  
I was trying to configure the Mysql RDS monitor plugin, I had to do some debugging because it gave me some error.

Actually I found that something’s changed from your guide to the boto version I have.  
Unfortunaltely I don’t have much time tu argue more. I just made some test and I found this solution working for me:

1. replace  
import boto  
with  
import boto.rds  
import boto.ec2.cloudwatch

2. replace  
rds = boto.connect\_rds()  
with  
rds = boto.rds.connect\_to\_region(“eu-west-1”) #use your region

3. replace  
cw = boto.connect\_cloudwatch()  
with  
cw = boto.ec2.cloudwatch.connect\_to\_region(“eu-west-1”) #use your region

Hope this could help.

bye!

Ah  
you have also to add some more instance\_classes:
