AWS – AWS Network Firewall launches new monitoring dashboard
Today, AWS announces the launch of a new monitoring dashboard in the AWS Network Firewall console, enhancing customers ability to monitor their network traffic. This new feature provides visibility into network activities, allowing for more effective management and troubleshooting of firewall configurations.
The new dashboard offers valuable insights into traffic patterns, including top traffic flows, TLS Server Name Indication (SNI), and HTTP Host headers. This level of detail allows customers to quickly identify and analyze their most significant network interactions. Additionally, the dashboard provides visibility into long-lived TCP flows and traffic flows where TCP handshake failed, which is particularly useful for troubleshooting network issues and identifying potential security concerns.
This new monitoring dashboard is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Network Firewall is supported, see AWS Region table. There are no additional charges on AWS Network Firewall to use this dashboard. Please check Amazon CloudWatch pricing or Amazon Athena pricing to understand charges related to Logs and Queries.
To take advantage of this new feature, customers need to configure Flow logs and Alert logs in their AWS Network Firewall, and enable the monitoring dashboard. For more information on how to set up and use the new monitoring dashboard, please visit the AWS Network Firewall documentation or log in to the AWS Management Console.
