Basic process to setup machine agent on Amazon aws EC2 Linux micro

Hello all -

New user testing out Appdynamics for the first time. I'm running a t2.micro with all ports open. I'm not seeing anything on the dashboard.

Steps I took...

I've downloaded the machine agent to the server, unziped it and configured the controller-info.xml file as such...

<controller-host>[MYAPPD_ACCOUNTNAME].saas.appdynamics.com</controller-host>

<controller-port>8181</controller-port>

<controller-ssl-enabled>true</controller-ssl-enabled>

<account-name>[MYAPPD_ACCOUNTNAME]</account-name>

<account-access-key>[MYAPPD_ACCESSKEY]</account-access-key>

<application-name>AWS</application-name>

<tier-name>EC2</tier-name>

<node-name>apm4</node-name>

<force-agent-registration>false</force-agent-registration>

<machine-path></machine-path>

Question:

Since the url is HTTPS I used 8181 and true for SSL. But, do I need anything on a standard-out-of-the-box t2.micro for SSL comunications?

I'm seeing this in the log file:

WARN RegistrationTask - Encountered error during registration. Will retry in 60 seconds.

and

feign.RetryableException: Connect to [MYAPPD_ACCOUNTNAME].saas.appdynamics.com:8181 [na16.saas.appdynamics.com/198.169.195.55] failed: connect timed out executing POST http://[MYAPPD_ACCOUNTNAME].saas.appdynamics.com:8181/controller/sim

Why 198.169.195.55 vs the public IP assigned to my EC2 server? 

and a lot of this:

What am I missing? I was unable to find anything that walks through basic steps specifically for EC2 servers leading me to think that there isn't anything special.

Thanks for the help
