The Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment (AWAKE) is a project at CERN aiming to accelerate an electron bunch in a plasma wakefield driven by a proton bunch. The plasma is induced in a 10 m long rubidium vapor cell using a pulsed Ti: Sapphire laser, with the wakefield formed by a proton bunch from the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). A 16 MeV electron bunch is simultaneously injected into the plasma cell to be accelerated by the wakefield to energies in the GeV range over this short distance. After successful runs with the proton and laser beams, the electron beam line was installed and commissioned at the end of 2017 to produce and inject a suitable electron bunch into the plasma cell. To achieve the goals of the experiment, it is important to have reliable beam instrumentation measuring the various parameters of the proton, electron and laser beams. This contribution presents the status of the beam instrumentation in AWAKE and reports on the performance achieved during the AWAKE runs in 2017.
