Configure thresholds for your Amazon VPN connection
Site24x7 makes programmatic API calls using various service level APIs to auto discover all IPsec VPN connections and their VPN endpoints (tunnels) in a region. Once done, Site24x7 creates a distinct monitor for each Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection in the console.
You can leverage the tags (key-value pairs) assigned to your AWS managed VPN connections, to opt-out specific connections from discovery Learn more.
For every VPN connection monitor created, a default threshold profile gets assigned. You can either edit the default profile or create yourselves a new one.
