Description

Creates a monitor between a source subnet and destination IP address. Within a monitor you'll create one or more probes that monitor network traffic between your source Amazon Web Services VPC subnets and your destination IP addresses. Each probe then aggregates and sends metrics to Amazon CloudWatch. You can also create a monitor with probes using this command. For each probe, you define the following:
  • source—The subnet IDs where the probes will be created.
  • destination— The target destination IP address for the probe.
  • destinationPort—Required only if the protocol is TCP.
  • protocol—The communication protocol between the source and destination. This will be either TCP or ICMP.
  • packetSize—The size of the packets. This must be a number between 56 and 8500.
  • (Optional) tags —Key-value pairs created and assigned to the probe.

Parameters

-AggregationPeriod <Int64>
The time, in seconds, that metrics are aggregated and sent to Amazon CloudWatch. Valid values are either 30 or 60. 60 is the default if no period is chosen.

Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClientConfig <AmazonNetworkMonitorConfig>
Amazon.PowerShell.Cmdlets.CWNM.AmazonNetworkMonitorClientCmdlet.ClientConfig
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ClientToken <String>
Unique, case-sensitive identifier to ensure the idempotency of the request. Only returned if a client token was provided in the request.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-MonitorName <String>
The name identifying the monitor. It can contain only letters, underscores (_), or dashes (-), and can be up to 200 characters.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the MonitorName parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^MonitorName' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Probe <CreateMonitorProbeInput[]>
Displays a list of all of the probes created for a monitor.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesProbes
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is '*'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.NetworkMonitor.Model.CreateMonitorResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.NetworkMonitor.Model.CreateMonitorResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Tag <Hashtable>
The list of key-value pairs created and assigned to the monitor.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information. The profile is expected to be found in the secure credential file shared with the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. You can also specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesStoredCredentials, AWSProfileName
-Region <Object>
The system name of an AWS region or an AWSRegion instance. This governs the endpoint that will be used when calling service operations. Note that the AWS resources referenced in a call are usually region-specific.
Required?False
