Edit a probe

You can change any information for an existing probe, regardless of whether that probe is active or inactive.

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.
