Monitoring VPN connections using AWS Health events
AWS Site-to-Site VPN automatically sends notifications to the AWS AWS Personal Health Dashboard
The AWS Personal Health Dashboard provides the following types of notifications for your VPN connections:
Tunnel endpoint replacement notifications
You receive a Tunnel endpoint replacement notification in the AWS Personal Health Dashboard when one or both of the VPN tunnel endpoints in your VPN connection is replaced. A tunnel endpoint is replaced when AWS performs tunnel updates, or when you modify your VPN connection. For more information, see Site-to-Site VPN tunnel endpoint replacements.
When a tunnel endpoint replacement is complete, AWS sends the Tunnel endpoint replacement notification through a AWS Personal Health Dashboard event.
Single tunnel VPN notifications
A Site-to-Site VPN connection consists of two tunnels for redundancy. We strongly recommend that you configure both tunnels for high availability. If your VPN connection has one tunnel up but the other is down for more than one hour in a day, you receive a monthly VPN single tunnel notification through a AWS Personal Health Dashboard event.
