This may be related to restricting kernel access on instances. You can try running the following command to lift the restrictions on the kernel.

kernel.dmesg_restrict = 0

To make this change persistent, you can save the above parameter in a conf file as below:

/etc/sysctl.conf

 OR 

cat /etc/sysctl.d/10-local.conf
