Working with monitors and probes in Network Synthetic Monitor

To get started, create a monitor with probes in Network Synthetic Monitor to measure network performance over a specified aggregation period. Then, you can update a monitor to make desired changes, for example, to change the aggregation period, deactivate or activate probes, or add or remove tags.

The following sections provide step-by-step instructions for completing these tasks for your monitors and probes by using the Amazon CloudWatch console. You can also make changes to your monitor by using the Amazon Command Line Interface.
