Starting today, you can use two new Amazon CloudWatch metrics to monitor your AWS Global Accelerator resources. You can now monitor the total number of healthy endpoints and the total number of unhealthy endpoints served by your accelerator, including EC2 instances, Application Load Balancers, Network Load Balancers and Elastic IP addresses. With the two new metrics, you can create CloudWatch alarms to more quickly and easily detect issues with your Global Accelerator endpoints.
These new metrics complement existing CloudWatch metrics for Global Accelerator, such as the total number of incoming and outgoing bytes processed by your accelerator and the total number of new TCP or UDP flows between clients and your application endpoints. You can set alarms and specify automated actions with your Amazon CloudWatch metrics based on predefined thresholds. You can also build metric dashboards and view metrics for your accelerators, listeners, and endpoint groups directly in the Amazon CloudWatch console.
