This alert monitors the number of egress errors on AWS Direct Connect virtual interfaces. A high rate of egress errors can indicate network issues, packet drops, or hardware malfunctions. The alert is triggered when the number of egress errors exceeds 500 within a 10-minute period. Monitoring this metric helps ensure the stability and reliability of data transmission from AWS Direct Connect to on-premises infrastructure. Customization Guidance: - Threshold: Adjust the error threshold based on your typical network performance and error tolerance. - Monitoring Period: Modify the monitoring period to align with your traffic patterns and the sensitivity of your applications. - Notification Frequency: Set notification frequency to prioritize actionable alerts. Action: If this alert is triggered, investigate potential causes of egress errors, such as physical link issues, misconfigured routers, or overutilized interfaces.

This alert monitors the number of ingress errors on AWS Direct Connect virtual interfaces. A high rate of ingress errors can indicate issues with data being sent to AWS. The alert is triggered when the number of ingress errors exceeds 500 within a 10-minute period. Monitoring this metric helps maintain the reliability and accuracy of data transmission into AWS. Customization Guidance: - Threshold: Adjust the error threshold based on your typical network performance and error tolerance. - Monitoring Period: Modify the monitoring period to align with your workload sensitivity. - Notification Frequency: Set notification frequency to avoid alert fatigue. Action: If this alert is triggered, investigate potential causes of ingress errors, such as faulty devices, cabling issues, or misconfigurations in your on-premises infrastructure.

This alert monitors the number of egress dropped packets on AWS Direct Connect virtual interfaces. High packet drops can indicate network congestion or misconfigurations. The alert is triggered when the number of egress dropped packets exceeds 1,000 within a 10-minute period. Monitoring this metric ensures data is transmitted efficiently without significant loss. Customization Guidance: - Threshold: Adjust the threshold based on your application's tolerance for packet drops. - Monitoring Period: Modify the monitoring period to detect anomalies effectively. - Notification Frequency: Set notification frequency to minimize false positives. Action: If this alert is triggered, analyze traffic patterns and network configurations to address the causes of packet loss.

This alert monitors the number of ingress dropped packets on AWS Direct Connect virtual interfaces. High packet drops can indicate issues with incoming data traffic. The alert is triggered when the number of ingress dropped packets exceeds 1,000 within a 10-minute period. Monitoring this metric ensures the reliability of data being sent to AWS without significant packet loss. Customization Guidance: - Threshold: Adjust the threshold based on your workload requirements and data sensitivity. - Monitoring Period: Modify the monitoring period to align with your expected traffic patterns. - Notification Frequency: Configure notifications to focus on actionable insights. Action: If this alert is triggered, inspect potential causes such as misconfigured devices, network congestion, or physical link degradation.

This alert monitors the state of AWS Direct Connect connections. If a connection is down, it can cause significant disruptions to data transfer. The alert is triggered when a connection remains in the "down" state for more than 1 minute. Monitoring this metric helps ensure the availability and reliability of your Direct Connect connections. Customization Guidance: - Threshold: Set the duration based on your tolerance for connection downtime. - Monitoring Period: Modify the monitoring period to balance early detection with false positives. - Notification Frequency: Configure notifications to prioritize urgent issues. Action: If this alert is triggered, investigate the root cause of the downed connection, including physical link issues or provider-related problems.

This alert monitors the state of AWS Direct Connect virtual interfaces. If a virtual interface is down, it can disrupt data transfer between AWS and on-premises environments. The alert is triggered when a virtual interface remains in the "down" state for more than 1 minute. Monitoring this metric helps ensure reliable connectivity through virtual interfaces. Customization Guidance: - Threshold: Set the duration based on your tolerance for virtual interface downtime. - Monitoring Period: Modify the monitoring period to align with your operational requirements. - Notification Frequency: Configure notifications to prioritize critical issues. Action: If this alert is triggered, investigate potential issues such as physical link problems, configuration errors, or ISP outages.
