how to monitor a linux system on amazon ec2 without cloudwatch?

I would like to monitor the following on Amazon ec2 instances loaded with amazon linux, every X minutes :

disk statistics
process stats (similar to what top does)
ram usage
check if my scripts are running fine

should I use my own scripts and things or are there any tools that already achieve this ?
I searched and there was a suggestion about munin

what seems to be the better approach ?

Here is a great article on scale. About halfway down, the author lists monitoring tools and how they differ.

We've implemented Cacti, it was very easy, it creates all sorts of graphs/reports (most of what you mentioned). Munin is one that he lists as well, but we have not tried that solution yet.
