InternetHealth

Internet health includes measurements calculated by Amazon CloudWatch Internet Monitor about the performance and availability for your application on the internet. Amazon has substantial historical data about internet performance and availability between Amazon services and different network providers and geographies. By applying statistical analysis to the data, Internet Monitor can detect when the performance and availability for your application has dropped, compared to an estimated baseline that's already calculated. To make it easier to see those drops, Internet Monitor reports the information to you in the form of health scores: a performance score and an availability score.

Availability

Availability in Internet Monitor represents the estimated percentage of traffic that is not seeing an availability drop. For example, an availability score of 99% for an end user and service location pair is equivalent to 1% of the traffic experiencing an availability drop for that pair.

For more information, see How Internet Monitor calculates performance and availability scores in the Amazon CloudWatch Internet Monitor section of the CloudWatch User Guide.
