To disable detailed monitoring for an instance

This example command disables detailed monitoring for the specified instance.

Command:

aws ec2 unmonitor-instances --instance-ids i-1234567890abcdef0

Output:

{
  "InstanceMonitorings": [
      {
          "InstanceId": "i-1234567890abcdef0",
          "Monitoring": {
              "State": "disabling"
          }
      }
  ]
