Delete a probe - Amazon CloudWatch

Delete a probe

You can delete a probe rather than deactivating it if you know that you won't need it again later. You can't recover a deleted probe; instead, you must recreate it. Billing charges end for a probe when the probe is deleted.

You can work with monitors and probes by using either the Amazon CloudWatch console or the AWS Command Line Interface. To work with Network Synthetic Monitor programmatically, see the Network Synthetic Monitor API Reference and networkmonitor in the AWS Command Line Interface Command Reference.

To delete a probe using the console

  1. Open the CloudWatch console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/, and then, under Network Monitoring, choose Synthetic monitors.

  2. In the Monitors section, under Name, choose a monitor link to open the monitor dashboard.

  3. Choose the Monitor details tab.

  4. Choose the monitor check box, choose Actions, and then choose Delete.

  5. In the Delete probe dialog box, do the following:

  6. Choose Delete to confirm that you want to delete the probe.

    The State of the probe in the Probes section shows Deleting. After it's deleted, the probe is removed from the Probes section.
