Network Monitoring
Monitor performance and availability of your AWS Network and Internet service providers
Benefits
Monitor network performance easily
Visualize network health and information
Quickly visualize network events and take action on pre-built dashboards that provide metrics for latency, packet loss, and more. Flow monitoring provides real-time metrics on the latency and packet-loss of TCP-based AWS workloads. Synthetic monitoring provides real-time packet loss and latency metrics by probing your network packet paths inside AWS and to your on-premises networks. Internet monitoring performs hop-by-hop analyses to pinpoint issues by the geographic areas and internet service providers (ISPs) affected.
Identify and troubleshoot the root cause of network issues
Alert or alarm proactively on issues
Proactively manage the quality of your end user experience
If you experience degradation in your AWS workloads, flow monitoring helps you determine if the problem is caused by your application stack or the underlying AWS infrastructure so you can proactively manage the quality of experience for your customer.
Use cases
Monitor AWS network performance for your workloads
Flow monitoring provides granular insights into the network performance of AWS workloads to help you pinpoint the root cause of issues quickly. Access real-time metrics, like round-trip latency and packet loss for your actual workloads that span multiple AWS accounts. Identify if the cause of your workload impairment is the underlying AWS network via a network health indicator (NHI). Flow monitoring supports NHI for flows within a single AWS Region as well as for flows between AWS Regions over the AWS global network.
Monitor AWS network performance for your networks
Synthetic monitoring gives you visibility into your network performance within AWS and over your hybrid connections. Access real-time metrics, like round-trip latency and packet loss, to monitor the network. Customize date ranges on the synthetic monitoring dashboard to view historical packet loss and round-trip time, to help you troubleshoot issues using the network health indicator (NHI).
View AWS network health and take action
Set alerts and view all your internet traffic and events in one place
Use internet monitoring to identify health events that impact your end user experience for applications hosted on Amazon Virtual Private Cloud VPCs, Network Load Balancers, Amazon WorkSpaces, or Amazon CloudFront distributions. With internet monitoring, you can create thresholds based on granular levels for performance issues. You can also get insights based on near real-time analysis of internet traffic latency and availability. Set alerts, and view all your internet traffic and events in one place.
Identify internet user traffic patterns
You can use internet monitoring to identify your client locations that generate the most traffic to your application. After you identify high traffic locations, get suggestions for traffic optimization and latency improvements by switching AWS Regions or services.
