Description
This tool supports `StatusCheckFailed_System` and `StatusCheckFailed_Instance` metrics, but is missing `StatusCheckFailed_AttachedEBS` which is equally important for EC2 health monitoring during Countdown scenarios.
This metric monitoring is recommended by AWS best practices documentation:

Research direction
Start by locating the existing StatusCheckFailed_System and StatusCheckFailed_Instance metric definitions and the code that includes them in generated EC2 dashboards. Add the parallel StatusCheckFailed_AttachedEBS metric, then verify the generated dashboard contains it alongside the existing status-check metrics.
