Probe dashboard

You can use the Amazon CloudWatch Network Monitor dashboard to view Amazon network health, and information about specific round-trip time and packet loss for specific probes. There are two probe dashboards, Overview and Probe details.

You can create CloudWatch alarms to set packet loss and round-trip time metric thresholds. When a threshold is reached for a metric, a CloudWatch alarm notifies you. For information on creating probe alarms, see Probe alarms .

Overview

  • Amazon Network Health Indicator details — This provides the overall health of only the Amazon network. The status will be either Healthy or Degraded. A Degraded status indicates that there's an issue with the Amazon network, and does not indicate whether there's an issue with your probe.

  • Packet loss — The number of packets that were lost from the source subnet to the destination IP address for this probe.

  • Round-trip time — The time it took, in milliseconds, for a packet from the source subnet to reach the destination IP address and then come back again.
