Monitor and analyze network flows in Network Flow Monitor

With Network Flow Monitor, you can learn about network flows and performance for traffic that you're monitoring with your scope. You can get workload insights about top contributors, by each metric type, and then create monitors to explore network performance in detail, over different time frames, for the network flows that you select.

After you initialize Network Flow Monitor and install agents on your instances, you can view performance metrics for the network flows from those instances. Review the sections here to learn more about how to use Network Flow Monitor to evaluate network performance in Network Flow Monitor, create monitors for more in-depth information, and learn about the specific metrics provided by Network Flow Monitor.

The steps provided in these sections use the Amazon Web Services Management Console. You can also use Network Flow Monitor API operations with the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI) or Amazon SDKs to create and configure a monitor.
