Question

Is there Amazon firewall\port sniffer metrics on Amazon CloudWatch? The task is: track traffic on Amazon EC2 machine on specific port. Is this possible via Amazon CloudWatch API?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I'm not aware of such metrics being publicly available. However, given the task:

track traffic on Amazon EC2 machine on specific port

you can certainly monitor the traffic on a given EC2 instance using a tool like:

  • iptraf
  • tcpdump

See http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/top-linux-monitoring-tools.html #13 and #14 for details.
