The Splunk Universal Forwarder can be used to monitor the EC2 instance running Linux. Here are the instructions on how to install the Splunk Universal Forwarder on *nix systems that will include Linux instances running on EC2.

You should be able to install the agent on the EC2 instance. Everything else is same as if you would it On Prem.. Open up firewall ports to DS and Indexers.
