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 .
