Events

Track your transit gateway Events using CloudWatch Events, which delivers a near-real-time stream of system events that describe changes in your resources. Using simple rules that you can quickly set up, you can match events and route them to one or more target functions or streams. For more information about CloudWatch Events, see the Amazon CloudWatch Events User Guide..

Monitoring

On the Monitor page, monitor your transit gateways using Amazon CloudWatch, which collects raw data and processes it into readable, near-real-time metrics. These statistics are kept for 15 months, so that you can access historical information and gain a better perspective on how your network is performing. You can also set alarms that watch for certain thresholds, and send notifications or take actions when those thresholds are met. For more information, see the Amazon CloudWatch Events User Guide.

On the monitoring page, you can view usage metrics for your transit gateways, filtering by specific transit gateways.
