'How to detect EC2 instance has been idle

I am looking for idea how to approach this problem, basically measuring EC2 instance activity.

Is there a way I can know that via AWS? If not, how can I measure activity on e.g. Ubuntu instance. Taking into account that I will have some processes running and looking into their activity?

It's better to measure by 2 metrics and compare, Network traffic and CPU utilization
