Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • monitorArn (string) –

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the monitor.

    • monitorName (string) –

      The name of the monitor.

    • monitorStatus (string) –

      The status of a monitor. The status can be one of the following

      • PENDING: The monitor is in the process of being created.

      • ACTIVE: The monitor is active.

      • INACTIVE: The monitor is inactive.

      • ERROR: Monitor creation failed due to an error.

      • DELETING: The monitor is in the process of being deleted.

    • localResources (list) –

      The local resources to monitor. A local resource in a workload is the location of the hosts where the Network Flow Monitor agent is installed.

      • (dict) –

        A local resource is the host where the agent is installed. Local resources can be a a subnet, a VPC, an Availability Zone, or an Amazon Web Services service.

        • type (string) –

          The type of the local resource. Valid values are AWS::EC2::VPC AWS::AvailabilityZone, AWS::EC2::Subnet, or AWS::Region.

        • identifier (string) –

          The identifier of the local resource. For a VPC or subnet, this identifier is the VPC Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or subnet ARN. For an Availability Zone, this identifier is the AZ name, for example, us-west-2b.

    • remoteResources (list) –

      The remote resources to monitor. A remote resource is the other endpoint specified for the network flow of a workload, with a local resource. For example, Amazon Dynamo DB can be a remote resource.

      • (dict) –

        A remote resource is the other endpoint in a network flow. That is, one endpoint is the local resource and the other is the remote resource. Remote resources can be a a subnet, a VPC, an Availability Zone, an Amazon Web Services service, or an Amazon Web Services Region.

        When a remote resource is an Amazon Web Services Region, Network Flow Monitor provides network performance measurements up to the edge of the Region that you specify.

        • type (string) –

          The type of the remote resource. Valid values are AWS::EC2::VPC AWS::AvailabilityZone, AWS::EC2::Subnet, AWS::AWSService, or AWS::Region.

        • identifier (string) –

          The identifier of the remote resource. For a VPC or subnet, this identifier is the VPC Amazon Resource Name (ARN) or subnet ARN. For an Availability Zone, this identifier is the AZ name, for example, us-west-2b. For an Amazon Web Services Region , this identifier is the Region name, for example, us-west-2.

    • createdAt (datetime) –

      The date and time when the monitor was created.

    • modifiedAt (datetime) –

      The date and time when the monitor was last modified.

    • tags (dict) –
