CloudWatch Network Monitoring

Internet Monitor, Network Flow Monitor, and Network Synthetic Monitor each watch a different segment of your network, and picking the wrong one gives you a dashboard that cannot see the problem. This lesson separates them and pairs them with the per-resource metrics that catch silent failures.

Intermediate 26 minutes 4 Learning Objectives
  1. Choose between Internet Monitor, Network Flow Monitor, and Network Synthetic Monitor based on which segment of the path is in question
  2. Explain how each service collects data and what the network health indicator tells you
  3. Interpret the NAT gateway, VPN, and Direct Connect metrics that reveal problems before users report them
  4. Design alarms that catch silent network failures rather than restating traffic volume
