Improving network observability with new AWS Outposts racks network metrics

Compute Blog



AWS has introduced two new CloudWatch metrics for AWS Outposts racks to improve network observability:

  • VifConnectionStatus - indicates VIF connection status (1 = connected, 0 = disconnected)
  • VifBgpSessionState - provides detailed BGP session connectivity states

Key benefits of these metrics include:

  • Faster identification of network connectivity issues
  • Deeper insights into Outposts rack network connections
  • Ability to configure CloudWatch alarms for proactive monitoring
  • Helps troubleshoot network problems without external support

These metrics help users monitor the health and performance of network connections between Outposts Networking Devices (ONDs) and Customer Network Devices (CNDs).
