create_monitor

CloudWatchInternetMonitor.Client.create_monitor(**kwargs)

Creates a monitor in Amazon CloudWatch Internet Monitor. A monitor is built based on information from the application resources that you add: Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), Amazon CloudFront distributions, and WorkSpaces directories.

After you create a monitor, you can view the internet performance for your application, scoped to a location, as well as any health events that are impairing traffic. Internet Monitor can also diagnose whether the impairment is on the Amazon Web Services network or is an issue with an internet service provider (ISP).
