Monitor AWS VPC Tunnels using AWS Transit Gateway

Amazon Web Service (AWS) Transit Gateway acts as a cloud router connecting enterprise virtual private clouds (VPCs) to AWS VPCs through a central hub that allows for simplified peering relationships.

Security Cloud Control allows you to monitor the connection status of your onboarded AWS VPCs using AWS Transit Gateway.

Procedure


Step 1

In the left pane, click Secure Connections > Site to Site VPN.

Step 2

The VPN Tunnels page displays the connection status for all network tunnels managed by your Security Cloud Control tenant. The connection status for the VPN tunnel can be active or idle.

Step 3

Select a VPC and under Actions click Check Connectivity to trigger a real-time connectivity check against the tunnel and identify whether the tunnel is currently active or idle. Unless you click the on-demand connectivity check link, a check across all tunnels, available across all onboarded devices, occurs every ten minutes.

Note

Security Cloud Control prompts a notification if a VPN tunnel’s connection goes down. However, there is no notification prompt if the link is back up.
