Amazon VPC Route Server enhances connectivity monitoring and logging with new network metrics. These metrics allow customers to proactively monitor network health, troubleshoot network issues and gain visibility into route propagation and peer connectivity.
Previously, customers would manually track Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) session changes and often required AWS Support assistance for network troubleshooting. With these new logging capabilities, customers can independently monitor and diagnose network connectivity issues, leading to faster resolution times and improved network visibility. The enhancement offers real-time monitoring of BGP and BFD session states, historical peer-to-peer session data logging and flexible log delivery options through CloudWatch, S3, Data Firehose or AWS CLI.
Enhanced logging for VPC Route Server is available in all AWS commercial regions where VPC Route Server is supported. Data charges for vended logs will apply for Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon S3, and Amazon Data Firehose. To learn more about this feature, please refer to our documentation.
