View Amazon CloudWatch Logs metrics for AWS Site-to-Site VPN - AWS Site-to-Site VPN

When you create a Site-to-Site VPN connection, the VPN service sends metrics about your VPN connection to CloudWatch, as they become available. You can view the metrics for your VPN connection as follows.

To view metrics using the CloudWatch console

Metrics are grouped first by the service namespace, and then by the various dimension combinations within each namespace.

  1. Open the CloudWatch console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Metrics.

  3. Under All metrics, choose the VPN metric namespace.

  4. Select the metric dimension to view the metrics— for example, VPN Tunnel Metrics.

Note

The VPN namespace will not appear in the CloudWatch console until after a Site-to-Site VPN connection has been created in the AWS region you are viewing.

To view metrics using the AWS CLI

At a command prompt, use the following command:

aws cloudwatch list-metrics --namespace "AWS/VPN"
