The line colors represent the state of the relationships between AWS and the on-premises resources.

Events

Track your transit gateway events by 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.

To track transit gateway events

1. Access the Network Manager console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/networkmanager/home/.

2. Under Connectivity, choose Global Networks.

3. On the Global networks page, choose the global network ID.

4. In the navigation pane, choose Transit Gateway network.

5. The Overview page opens by default, showing information about your transit gateways.

6. Choose the Events tab.

   The Events section updates with the CloudWatch transit events that occurred during the time frame.

   (Optional) Metrics and events use the default time set up in the CloudWatch Events event. To set a custom time frame, choose Custom and then choose a Relative or Absolute time, and then choose if you want to see that date range in UTC or the edge location's Local time zone.

   Choose Add to dashboard to add this metric to your CloudWatch dashboard. For more information about using CloudWatch dashboards, see Using Amazon CloudWatch Dashboards in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.

Monitoring

You can 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.
