AWS Outposts racks now support additional Amazon CloudWatch metrics in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

AWS Outposts Racks CloudWatch Metrics Update

AWS Outposts racks now support VifConnectionStatus and VifBgpSessionState metrics in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. These metrics offer visibility into the connectivity status of your Outposts racks' Local Gateway (LGW) and Service Link Virtual Interfaces (VIFs) with your on-premises devices.

These metrics allow you to monitor Outposts VIF connectivity status directly within the CloudWatch console, without needing external networking tools or coordination with other teams. You can use these metrics to set alarms, troubleshoot connectivity issues, and ensure your Outposts racks are properly integrated with your on-premises infrastructure.

What to do

• Read the blog post to get started.
• Access the metrics in the CloudWatch console.
• Check out the CloudWatch metrics for Outposts documentation for first-generation Outposts racks.
