Starting today, AWS Elemental MediaConnect has new flow alerts enabling quicker debugging of MediaConnect flows, sources, and outputs. The new alerts are available via the MediaConnect API as a text string and the AWS Management Console under the Alerts tab of a flow. The alerts will complement the existing CloudWatch Metrics and CloudWatch Events for MediaConnect.
Using the flow alerts, you can more easily diagnose and fix common problems that occur during the creation and configuration of a flow, such as an input that switches between misconfigured sources or an error with encryption keys. When combined with data from CloudWatch, you have a more comprehensive picture of flow health and status, reducing the time spent resolving issues.
Alerts are available in all AWS Regions where MediaConnect is available. For more information checkout the MediaConnect overview page and read the MediaConnect documentation.
