Answer 1

This is from official Documentation:

sudo /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/amazon-cloudwatch-agent-ctl -a fetch-config -m ec2 -c file:configuration-file-path -s

here the Docs:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/install-CloudWatch-Agent-commandline-fleet.html#start-CloudWatch-Agent-EC2-commands-fleet

Installation path may be different, but that is how the agent is started as per docs.
