create-monitor¶

Description¶

Creates a monitor in Amazon CloudWatch Internet Monitor. A monitor is built based on information from the application resources that you add: Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), Amazon CloudFront distributions, and WorkSpaces directories. Internet Monitor then publishes internet measurements from Amazon Web Services that are specific to the city-networks , that is, the locations and ASNs (typically internet service providers or ISPs), where clients access your application. For more information, see Using Amazon CloudWatch Internet Monitor in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide .

When you create a monitor, you set a maximum limit for the number of city-networks where client traffic is monitored. The city-network maximum that you choose is the limit, but you only pay for the number of city-networks that are actually monitored. You can change the maximum at any time by updating your monitor. For more information, see Choosing a city-network maximum value in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide .

Options¶

--monitor-name (string)

The name of the monitor.

--resources (list)

The resources to include in a monitor, which you provide as a set of Amazon Resource Names (ARNs).

You can add a combination of Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and Amazon CloudFront distributions, or you can add Amazon WorkSpaces directories. You can’t add all three types of resources.

Note
If you add only VPC resources, at least one VPC must have an Internet Gateway attached to it, to make sure that it has internet connectivity.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--client-token (string)

A unique, case-sensitive string of up to 64 ASCII characters that you specify to make an idempotent API request. Don’t reuse the same client token for other API requests.

--tags (map)

The tags for a monitor. You can add a maximum of 50 tags in Internet Monitor.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--max-city-networks-to-monitor (integer)

The maximum number of city-networks to monitor for your resources. A city-network is the location (city) where clients access your application resources from and the network or ASN, such as an internet service provider (ISP), that clients access the resources through. This limit helps control billing costs.

To learn more, see Choosing a city-network maximum value in the Amazon CloudWatch Internet Monitor section of the CloudWatch User Guide .

--internet-measurements-log-delivery (structure)

Publish internet measurements for Internet Monitor to an Amazon S3 bucket in addition to CloudWatch Logs.

S3Config -> (structure)

The configuration information for publishing Internet Monitor internet measurements to Amazon S3. The configuration includes the bucket name and (optionally) prefix for the S3 bucket to store the measurements, and the delivery status. The delivery status is ENABLED or DISABLED , depending on whether you choose to deliver internet measurements to S3 logs.

BucketName -> (string)

The Amazon S3 bucket name.

BucketPrefix -> (string)

The Amazon S3 bucket prefix.

LogDeliveryStatus -> (string)

The status of publishing Internet Monitor internet measurements to an Amazon S3 bucket.

Shorthand Syntax:

S3Config={BucketName=string,BucketPrefix=string,LogDeliveryStatus=string}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "S3Config": {
    "BucketName": "string",
    "BucketPrefix": "string",
    "LogDeliveryStatus": "ENABLED"|"DISABLED"
  }
}

--traffic-percentage-to-monitor (integer)

The percentage of the internet-facing traffic for your application that you want to monitor with this monitor.

--health-events-config (structure)

Defines the health event threshold percentages, for performance score and availability score. Internet Monitor creates a health event when there’s an internet issue that affects your application end users where a health score percentage is at or below a set threshold. If you don’t set a health event threshold, the default calue is 95%.

AvailabilityScoreThreshold -> (double)

The health event threshold percentage set for availability scores.

PerformanceScoreThreshold -> (double)

The health event threshold percentage set for performance scores.

Shorthand Syntax:

AvailabilityScoreThreshold=double,PerformanceScoreThreshold=double

JSON Syntax:

{
  "AvailabilityScoreThreshold": double,
  "PerformanceScoreThreshold": double
}

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

base64
raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output¶

Arn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the monitor.

Status -> (string)

The status of a monitor.
