# AWS Network Monitoring

## Overview

Domain expertise for installing and configuring Amazon CloudWatch Network Flow
Monitor agents on EC2 instances. Covers IAM permission setup, agent
installation via SSM Distributor or command-line install, agent activation,
verification, and troubleshooting.

Network Flow Monitor agents are lightweight software that publish performance
metrics (latency, packet loss) to the Network Flow Monitor backend, enabling
monitoring of network path health between workloads.

**Works best with** the [AWS MCP server](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-mcp/) — enables running SSM commands, attaching IAM policies, and validating agent status directly. All guidance also works with standard AWS CLI access.
