Tools for diagnosing networking services
The diagnostic networking tools can help users effectively manage and troubleshoot various networking configurations, including Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP) in Amazon EC2, Amazon Route 53 domain actions, load balancer responses, and Amazon VPC security groups.
BYOIP in EC2 tool
By using the Bring your Own IP in EC2 (BYOIP) tool, users can effectively manage and troubleshoot Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP) configurations in Amazon EC2. BYOIP enables organizations to bring their own IPv4 address space into AWS and is used during integration and optimization of BYOIP resources. The tool enables CIDR Range investigation, helping investigate BYOIP configurations by specifying CIDR ranges and verifying their mapping to AWS resources for proper utilization. Meanwhile, the IPv4 Pool analysis provides insights into the utilization, health, and allocation of BYOIP IPv4 pools, ensuring efficient resource utilization.
Route 53 tool
Amazon Route 53 tool is designed to assist users in investigating domain actions and changes within their Route 53 domain configurations. It provides insights into both active and pending domain actions, as well as recent domain-related activities.
This tool helps your partners investigate their customer's Route 53 managed domains as follows:
-
Active Domain Actions: Easily access a list of ongoing domain operations, including registrations, transfers, renewals, and DNS updates.
-
Pending Domain Actions: Monitor pending tasks like transfers and renewals. Ensure they progress smoothly by checking statuses and expected completion dates.
-
Recent Domain Activities: Review a historical log of domain-related events, from updates to DNS changes. Useful for auditing and tracking.
-
Troubleshooting and Monitoring: Empower yourself to resolve issues, track task progress, and maintain domain accuracy and security. Detect unauthorized changes swiftly.
Load Balancer Responses
Overview The Application Load Balancer Responses tool provides basic information and operational insights into the Application, Network, and Classic load balancers within the AWS environment across selected Regions.
Key features:
The tool fetches and displays the following fields for each Application/Network Load Balancer and Classic Load Balancer:
-
FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name): Displays the fully qualified domain name associated with the load balancer.
-
Type: Identifies the type of load balancer (Application, Network, or Classic).
-
Scheme: Indicates whether the load balancer is internet-facing or internal.
-
Addressing: Shows the type of IP address used (static or dynamic).
-
VPC (Virtual Private Cloud): Lists the VPC in which the load balancer is deployed.
-
AZs (Availability Zones): Displays the Availability Zones where the load balancer is available.
-
Listeners: Enumerates the listeners configured for the load balancer.
-
Target Groups: (For Application and Network Load Balancers): Lists the target groups associated with the load balancer.
-
Creation Time: Shows the timestamp when the load balancer was created.
-
Region: Indicates the AWS Region where the load balancer is deployed.
VPC Security Groups Lookup
The Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) Security Groups Lookup tool simplifies the task of listing all VPC security groups within your AWS account. It offers a quick and efficient way to gather essential information about the security groups in use, aiding in the management and oversight of your VPC configurations. Whether you need to verify security settings or ensure compliance, this tool provides an essential asset for VPC security management.
