AWS Outposts racks now support LagStatus CloudWatch metric

AWS Outposts LagStatus CloudWatch Metric

AWS Outposts racks now support the LagStatus Amazon CloudWatch metric in all AWS commercial Regions and the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. This metric allows you to monitor Outposts LAG connectivity status directly within the CloudWatch console, without relying on external tools or coordination with other teams. You can set alarms, troubleshoot connectivity issues, and ensure proper integration with your on-premises infrastructure.

The LagStatus metric indicates whether an Outposts LAG is operationally up and ready to forward traffic. A value of "1" means the LAG is up, while "0" means it is down. Combined with existing metrics, you can quickly identify issues related to LAG configuration, BGP peering, or connection problems.

What to do

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