createMonitor

Creates a monitor between a source subnet and destination IP address. Within a monitor you'll create one or more probes that monitor network traffic between your source Amazon Web Services VPC subnets and your destination IP addresses. Each probe then aggregates and sends metrics to Amazon CloudWatch.

You can also create a monitor with probes using this command. For each probe, you define the following:

• source—The subnet IDs where the probes will be created.

• destination— The target destination IP address for the probe.

• destinationPort—Required only if the protocol is TCP.

• protocol—The communication protocol between the source and destination. This will be either TCP or ICMP.

• packetSize—The size of the packets. This must be a number between 56 and 8500.

• (Optional) tags —Key-value pairs created and assigned to the probe.
