Add the following required permissions to your Zabbix IAM policy in order to collect metrics.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Action": [
                "cloudwatch:Describe*",
                "cloudwatch:Get*",
                "cloudwatch:List*",
                "ec2:Describe*",
                "rds:Describe*",
                "ecs:Describe*",
                "ecs:List*",
                "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
                "s3:GetBucketLocation"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow",
